People get ready, there's a train a comin'
You don't need no baggage, you 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
It's picking up passengers from coast to coast
Faith is the key, open the doors and board 'em
There's hope for all among those loved the most.

There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner

For there's no hiding place against the Kingdom's throne

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

God knows how threatening a jaunty tune can be. Fuck, I'm sick of sharing the same air with these assholes.

Lester Chambers is going to be okay and I hope that "crazed woman" is held accountable. Oh wait..

... Why in the fuck would anyone assault Lester Chambers? Especially after he dedicated the song to Trayvon Martin? It was a blues festival, for God's sake! Isn't a blues festival one of the most mellow places on earth one could be? I give up.

Possibly other substance or substances but I'd go with alcohol first.

... that stuff rolling around in the brain can wipe away all conscience, turning one into a raving lunatic. I'm glad she didn't have a gun.
