Go Like Elijah
Composer(s): Chi Coltrane
Performer(s): Chi Coltrane



Someday my time will come
When that will be, I do not know 
I only know that when I have to go
Yeah, when I go-- I want to go 
Just let me go-- Lord, when I go 
I want to go like Elijah when I go 
I want to rise right up to the sky 
And ride white roses with fiery eyes 
Lord for my sins I apologise 
Just let me go-- Lord when I go 
When my time comes for me to go 
Just let me go like Elijah when I go 
I don't want no tombstone above my head 
And I don't want no pinebox for my bed 
And I don't want anyone to say I'm dead
I don't want no-one crying 
Or feeling sad 
Or standing in the rain without their hat 
I want to go happy-- Imagine that 
Yeah, when I go-- I want to go 
Just let me go-- Lord, when I go 
I want to go like Elijah when I go 
I want to rise right up to the sky 
And ride white roses with fiery eyes 
Lord for my sins I apologise 
Just let me go-- Lord when I go 
When my time comes for me to go 
Just let me go like Elijah when I go
