O Ride on, Jesus,
Ride on, Jesus,
Ride on, conquerin' King!
I want t' go t' Hebb'n in de mo'n´in'.
Ef you see my Father´, 1
O yes!
Jes' tell him fo' me
O yes!
For t' meet me t'-morrow in Galilee´:
Want t' go t' Hebb'n in de mo'n´in'.
O Ride on, Jesus,
Ride on, Jesus,
Ride on, conquerin' King!
I want t' go t' Hebb'n in de mo'n´in'.
Ef yo' see John de Baptis'´,
O yes!
Jes' tell him fo' me,
O yes!
Dat I's been to de ribber and I's been baptize'´:
Want t' go t' Hebb'n in de mo'n´in'.
O Ride on, Jesus,
Ride on, Jesus,
Ride on, conquerin' King!
I want t' go t' Hebb'n in de mo'n´in'.
Ef yo' want t' go t' Hebb'n´,
O yes!
I'll-a tell yo' how,
O yes!
Jes' keep yo' han's on de gospel plow:
Want t' go t' Hebb'n in de mo'n´in'.
O Ride on, Jesus,
Ride on, Jesus,
Ride on, conquerin' King!
I want t' go t' Hebb'n in de mo'n´in'.
