"People Get Ready" lyrics

People get ready
There's a train a-coming
Don't need no ticket
You can just step on board
All we need is a little faith
To hear the diesel humming
We ain't got to have no baggage, Al
We can just thank the Lord
You tell 'em

People get ready
There's a train to Jordan (Yes, it is)
Don't need no ticket
You just step on board
All we need is faith to hear the diesel comin'
You don't need a ticket
You just thank the Lord

I say thank the Lord, thank the Lord
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord

Y'all got to get ready now
The train is comin'
You don't need no ticket
You can just step on board
But all you need is a little faith
You can hear the diesel runnin'
You ain't even got to have no bags
You can just get on board
Al, why don't you help me tell 'em

People get ready
For the train to Jordan
Oh, the Master's comin'
Get on board (Yeah, yeah)
All we need is faith to hear the diesel hummin'
Oh, you don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord

I say thank the Lord, thank the Lord
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord

Why don't you play?
Yeah yeah
Time is windin' up

I say thank the Lord, thank the Lord
Thank you, Lord; thank you, Lord
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord

Thank you, Lord
Oh, time, time, time is windin' up, y'all
Better get ready now now
Get ready, get ready, yeah
The train is comin'
Get ready
Get ready for it
Get ready
Hey
Get ready
Everybody better do it
Get ready
Oh, get ready
I think we oughta tell Him, thank you, Lord
Thank you, Lord
Oh, thank you
Thank you, Lord; thank you, Lord
Thank you, Lord; thank you, Lord
Thank you, Lord; thank you, Lord
Oh, thank you
Ooh ooh ooh, hmm
Feel good to thank you this evening...
I'd feel better if we could say it just one more time, say
Thank you, Lord; thank you, Lord
Thank you, Lord
