The Basement Tapes - may/october 1967 People get ready, there's a train a-comin' Don't need no baggage, just get on board All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin' Don't need no ticket, you just thank the lord. People get ready for the train to Jordan Picking up passengers from coast to coast Faith is the key, open up the doors an' board 'em There's room for all among those loved the most. There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner Who would hurt mankind just to save his own Have pity on those whose changes grow thinner For there's no hidin' place against the kingdom's throne. So people get ready, there's a train a-comin' Don't need no baggage, you just get on board All you need is faith, open the doors an' board 'em Don't need no ticket, you just thank the lord.
