19. Ride On, King

Chorus:
Ride on, King,
Ride on, King Jesus,
Ride on, conquering King,
I want to go to heaven in the morning.

1 If you see my mother,
O yes, just tell her for me,
O yes, to ride her horse in the battlefield,
I want to go to heaven in the morning. [Chorus]

2 If you see my father,
O yes, just tell him for me,
O yes, to ride his horse in the battlefield,
I want to go to heaven in the morning. [Chorus]

3 If you see my sister,
O yes, just tell her for me,
O yes, to ride her horse in the battlefield,
I want to go to heaven in the morning. [Chorus]

4 If you see my brother,
O yes, just tell him for me,
O yes, to ride his horse in the battlefield,
I want to go to heaven in the morning. [Chorus]

5 If you see my preacher,
O yes, just tell him for me,
O yes, to ride his horse in the battlefield,
I want to go to heaven in the morning. [Chorus]
