Curtis Mayfield
People Get Ready
[Verse 1]
People get ready
There's a train a-comin'
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear diesels a-hummin'
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord (Yeah yeah yeah)

[Verse 2]
People get ready
For the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
From coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
There's room for all
Among the loved and lost (Ooh yeah yeah)

[Verse 3]
Now there ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Who's hard on mankind
Just to save his own
Have pity on those
Whose chances are thinner
'Cause there's no hidin' place
From the kingdom's throne
[Verse 1]
Oh, people get ready
There's a train a-comin'
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear diesels a-hummin'
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord (Yeah yeah yeah)

[Outro]
I'm gettin' ready
I'm ready, yeah yeah yeah
Oh, I'm gettin' ready
Ooh, I'm ready, yeah
