You Got To Move

(Reverend Gary Davis)

You got to move, you got to move
You got to move, oh move
When my God get ready, You got to move

You may be high, you may be low
You may be rich, you may be poor
Brother when God get ready you got to move

You may run, can't be caught
You may hide, can't be found
brother when God get ready
You got to move

You may be old, you may be young
You may be weak, you may be strong
brother when God get ready
You got to move

You may be blind,cannot see
You may be deaf, cannot hear
brother when God get ready
You got to move

That gambler got to move
That gambler got to move
Don't you know he got to move
Yes, move
brother when God get ready
You got to move

Drunkard...
Preacher...
I...
