Curtis Mayfield
People Get Ready
[Intro: Alex Isley]
Ready, ready
Ready, ready, ooh
[Chorus: Alex Isley]
People get ready
There's a train comin'
Don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is a faith
To hear the diesels hummin'
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
[Verse 1: Alex Isley]
People get ready
There's a train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
Coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
There's hope for all among those
Loved the most
[Refrain: Alex Isley]
Oh-oh, la-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
[Verse 2: Alex Isley]
There ain't no room
For the hopeless sinnеr
Who would hurt all mankind
Just to save his own
Have pity on those
Whosе chances grow thinner
For there is no hiding place
Against the kingdom's throne
[Chorus: Alex Isley]
People get ready
There's a train comin'
Don't need no baggage
You just get on board
Said all you need is a faith
To hear the diesels hummin'
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
[Refrain: Alex Isley]
La-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
[Outro: Alex Isley]
Ready, ready, ooh
Ready, ready, ah
Ready, ready
Ready, ready, ah
Ready, ready, ooh
Ready, ready, ah
Ready, ready
Ready, ready, ah
Ready, ready, ooh
Ready, ready, oh
Ready, ready
