Right on Time

Went to the river to be baptized When I got there to my surprise My neighbors were gone and the preacher too I cried "Oh Lord", what shall I do? Then a voice cried out so loud and plain I heard someone call my name Singin', "You're right on time, right on time" Brother John said, "You're right on time" "You're right on time, right on time" Brother John said, "You're right on time" Up on a mountain, one cloudy day I closed my eyes and I began to pray When I opened my eyes, you know the sun broke through My heart was happy and my soul was new I started walking and before too long I heard his voice sing this song Singin', "You're right on time, right on time" Brother John said, "You're right on time" "You're right on time, right on time" Brother John said, "You're right on time" Went to the station in the pouring rain Made up my mind to ride that gospel train When I got there, the train was picking up speed I cried "Oh, Lord" and fell on my knees When the brakeman heard, he slowed that train right down When I jumped on board, he said your glory bound "You're right on time, right on time" Brother John said, "You're right on time" oh "You're right on time, right on time" Brother John said, "You're right on time" Hallelujah So, when I feel like every hope has died I remember that voice by the waterside "You're right on time, right on time" Brother John said, "You're right on time" oh "You're right on time, right on time" Brother John said, "You're right on time" "You're right on time, right on time" Brother John said, "You're right on time" "You're right on time, right on time" Brother John said, "You're right on time" I'm goin' home on the mornin' train You made me really got Holy Ghost (amen) Yeah-yeah
