01 Mar 98 - 01:50 AM (#22603) Subject: RE: Train a' Coming From: Joe Offer Here is a link to the lyrics, Nancy. They're at the International Lyrics Server, which attributes the song to Rod Stewart and Human Nature. You're better off believing Barry, I think. -Joe Offer- |
01 Mar 98 - 09:48 AM (#22614) Subject: RE: Train a' Coming From: Barry Finn Joe, that was Al Stewart you sent us to, I should've said, I don't know who the words are by, but the Chamber Brothers had a big hit with it back in the 60's. |
01 Mar 98 - 04:57 PM (#22643) Subject: Lyr Add: PEOPLE GET READY (from Human Nature) From: alison Hi, Followed Joe's link to Al Stewart then did a search, so here is Human Nature's version. Human Nature Telling Everybody People Get Ready People get ready There's a train a-comin' you don't need no baggage Just get on board All you need is faith To hear the diesel hummin' You don't need no ticket Just thank the Lord People Get ready For the train to Jordan It's pickin' up passengers From coast to coast Faith is the key Open the doors and board on There's room for all Amongst who loves the most Just as an aside, who did (I can only remember the chorus) "Fe-fi-fo-fum look out baby 'cause here I come, And I'm gonna ? make love to you so get ready - get ready, And I'm gonna make you love me too so get ready - get ready Here I come. (Get ready 'cause here I come)." Was that the Chambers Brothers?? Slainte Alison

01 Mar 98 - 05:09 PM (#22645) Subject: RE: Train a' Coming From: Barry Finn Alison, yup, that's the Chamber(s?) Brothers, they were a late 60's, R&B group, had another hit called "Time" & "Going Uptown To Harlem". Don't remember much else, sorry. Barry |
01 Mar 98 - 10:21 PM (#22690) Subject: People Get Ready From: Joe Offer Oh....Al Stewart. Well, DUH. Who he? I think the version I remember is the one by the Chambers Brothers. It's a great song, whoever sang it. It's easy to put some nice, rich harmony in it. -Joe Offer- |
02 Mar 98 - 10:48 AM (#22730) Subject: RE: Train a' Coming From: Earl It was written by Curtis Mayfield. |
02 Mar 98 - 01:00 PM (#22746) Subject: RE: Train a' Coming From: Jaxon It may seem hard to believe now but the Chambers Brithers played at Newport and were featured a number of times at Club 47 (now Passim) in Cambridge. Eric von Schmidt and Jim Rooney wrote a history of folk in Cambridge/Boston called "Baby Let Me Follow You Down" that talks about them. I saw them play at 47 and don't think I could hear anything for a few days. They were great! Jaxon |
02 Mar 98 - 10:44 PM (#22791) Subject: RE: Train a' Coming From: belter I think this may be related to a country gospel song done by Roy Acuf. The title may have been Last Train To Glory, or Gospel Train. |
02 Mar 98 - 11:31 PM (#22795) Subject: RE: Train a' Coming From: Jerry Friedman Al Stewart had a couple intelligent-person's-mellow-rock hits in the late '70s: "Time Passages" and "The Year of the Cat". |

03 Mar 98 - 03:04 PM (#22837) Subject: RE: Train a' Coming From: Will The Chamber's Brothers version of People get Ready was great. The song also works really well as an a capella medley with "This train don't carry no gamblers". |
03 Mar 98 - 05:49 PM (#22846) Subject: RE: Train a' Coming From: gpitts question for belter do you know the Roy Acuff tune :"Freight Train Blues" if you do do you have the lyrics it was also on Bob Dylans first LP. |

04 Mar 98 - 04:05 PM (#22972) Subject: RE: Train a' Coming From: Will Thanks, Dick. That's as close to what I remember the Chambers Brothers singing as my memory will allow, and much closer than the bits and pieces I have been singing to the kids for the last ten years. |

Hi - this is a folk music site, so we don't have anything from Aerosmith. The lyrics site mentioned above has some Aerosmith stuff. Click here to get direct to their Aerosmith files. The International Lyrics Server used to be the best place for rock lyrics, but it was shut down and hasn't come back online yet - they're due to come back soon. |

You might try theOn-Line Guitar Archive. They do a pretty good job. If you are looking for one of their Top-40 hits, you can try Lyrics World. They cover lyrics for Top-40 music from 1930 to 1998. Good luck in your search. Roger in Baltimore |

31 May 99 - 08:48 PM (#83080) Subject: Lyr Add: THE FACTORY (Bruce Springsteen) From: Jeri If I wasn't familiar with Curtis Mayfield and heard a gospel choir perform this gospel song, I might have thought it was "folk" too! Ironic anecdote alert. I was living in England from '79 to '81 and used to listen to Jim Lloyd's "Folk on II." He once introduced a song by saying "now, here's (name of group) with an American work song." They started to sing acapella: Early in the morning factory whistle blows, Man rises from bed and puts on his clothes, Man takes his lunch, walks out in the morning light, It's the working, the working, just the working life.
Through the mansions of fear, through the mansions of pain,
End of the day, factory whistle cries, The Factory, by Bruce Springsteen (It sounded good acapella) |
31 May 99 - 09:33 PM (#83086) Subject: RE: Lyrics, please: 'People Get Ready' From: Paul G. As I recall, Springstein won the best contemporaty Folk song grammy a year or two ago...Also, Kenny Rankin recorded a version of People Get Ready about 15 years ago that was pretty folky. I'm looking to work some gospel-style songs into my mix for performing. I like the genre, and find many gospel tunes lend themselves to acoustic instrumentation...I'd welcome any additional song suggestions! Best to all. PG |
31 May 99 - 09:57 PM (#83096) Subject: RE: Lyrics, please: 'People Get Ready' From: Barry Finn The Chambers Brothers did this in a gospel sort of style back in the late 60's & they did it quite well. I think the LP was titled Going Uptown To Harlem. Thanks Jeri, always thought it to be a gospel number till now. Barry |
02 Oct 01 - 09:35 PM (#563874) Subject: RE: Train a' Coming From: Joe Offer Max played a Sonny Terry recording of this song on Mudcat Radio today - the tune was quite different from the Chambers Brothers recording I'm used to. Dick says Curtis Mayfield wrote it. When was the song written?

02 Oct 01 - 10:21 PM (#563908) Subject: RE: People Get Ready - Train a' Coming From: Steve Latimer I know that Jeff Beck did a wonderful version with Rod Stewart singing. It was kind of a reunion thing for them in the eighties. Jeff credits Curtis Mayfield, but I wouldn't be surprised if it pre-dates him. Great song. |
