GET IN LINE BROTHER (IF YOU WANT TO GO HOME)
Lester Flatt
Peer International, copyright 1951

O listen to me, sinner. Don't you want to go?
For someday he's coming back again, you know.
If that wrong ain't rightened, you'll be lost in sin.
Get in line, brother. He will take you in.
Get in line, brother, if you want to go home.
Get on your knees and righten that wrong.
Then you'll be singing this old time song.
Get in line, brother, if you want to go home.

O listen to me, Satan. I have rightened that wrong.
Got a one-way ticket and I'm going on.
I've got no worries as I sing this song.
Get in line, brother, if you want to go home.
Get in line, brother,...

If I could tell you, brother, just how I feel,
Then I'm sure you'd know the love of God is real.
Then you'd be praying while I sing this song.
Get in line, brother, if you want to go home.
Get in line, brother,...

Has a dirty thirties feel to it. There's a labor version somewhere, forgotten who did it.
