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

[Verse 2]
People, get ready
For the train to Jordan
Pickin' up passengers
Coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board her
There's room for all
Among those loved the most

[Verse 3]
There is no room
For the hopeless sinner
Who would turn on his kind
Just to save his own
Have pity on those
Whose chances grow thinner
For there's no place to hide
Against the King that's throned
[Verse 4]
So people, get ready
There is a train a-comin'
You don't need no baggage
Just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear those diesels hummin'
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
