Eric Bibb - Right on Time lyrics

Went to the river to be baptised
When I got there to my surprise
My neighbours were gone and
The preacher was too
I cried "Oh Lord" what shall I do

Then a voice cried out so loud and plain
I heard someone callin' my name
Singin', "You're right on time
Right on time"
Brother John sayin', "You're right on time"
"You're right on time, right on time"
Brother John sayin', "You're right on time"

Up on a mountain one cloudy day
I closed my eyes and I began to pray
When I opеned my eyes you
Know thе sun broke through
My heart got happy, my soul was new

I started walking, before too long
I heard someone singin' my song
Singin', "You're right on time
Right on time"
Brother John sayin', "You're right on time"
"You're right on time, right on time"
Brother John sayin', "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 sayin', "You're right on time"
"You're right on time, right on time"
Brother John sayin', "You're right on time"

Hallelujah

So, when I feel like every hope has died
I remember that voice by the water side
"You're right on time, right on time"
Brother John sayin', "You're right on time"
"You're right on time, right on time"
Brother John sayin', "You're right on time"

"You're right on time, right on time"
Brother John sayin', "You're right on time"
"You're right on time, right on time"
Brother John sayin', "You're right on time"
I'm goin' home on the mornin' train
