THE COSSACK SONG
Tommy Coomes - Tom Stipe
A
I wouldn't want to be a Cossack headed for that Palestine Road
Thinking about what's written in the Word of God
About the things that he's foretold
D A
No, I wouldn't want to be there, down Jerusalem way
D A G E
No, I wouldn't want to be there, headed for my grave
A
I wouldn't want to march with the comrades when they enter Israel
Headed straight into the fiery wrath of God
And finding no escape from, well,
D A
I wouldn't want to be there, down Jerusalem way
D A G E
No, I wouldn't want to be there, headed for my grave
A
Now if I was in the Red Army, I think I'd take a permanent leave
I'd humble my heart and I'd ask the Lord
To take me with your church when it leaves
D A
'Cause I wouldn't want to be there, down Jerusalem way
D A G E
No, I wouldn't want to be there, headed for my grave
A
Well it won't be long till we see it happen just like old Ezekiel said
You ought to make your home in heaven, brother
And skip the other place instead
D A
'Cause you don't want to be there, no, and neither do I
D A G E A
'Cause we just want to be there for that meeting in the sky
