PEOPLE GET READY 
(words and music by Curtis Mayfield)

The Impressions - 1965
Rod Stewart and Jeff Beck - 1985


People get ready, there's a train comin' 
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board 
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
You don't need no ticket you just thank the lord 

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 
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner whom would hurt all 
mankind 
Just to save his own 
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner 
For there is no hiding place against the kingdoms throne 

People get ready there's a train comin' 
You don't need no baggage, just get on board 
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin' 
You don't need no ticket, just thank the lord.
