People Get Ready

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Laura Lee] 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 [Verse 2: Al Green & (Laura Lee)] 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 [Refrain: Al Green & Laura Lee] 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 [Verse 3: Laura Lee] 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 [Verse 2: Al Green & (Laura Lee)] 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 [Refrain: Al Green & Laura Lee] 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 [Bridge: Al Green & Laura Lee] Why don't you play?
