Get in Line Brother

Oh, [G]Listen to me sinners don't you want to go
[D]For some day he's coming back [G]again you know
If that wrong ain't rightened you'll be lost in sin
Get in line brother, he will [D]take you [G]in

Chorus:
Get in line brother if you wanna 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 wanna go home

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

Chorus

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

Chorus

One of my favorites. See if you can locate a copy of the Flatt and Scruggs version.

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.
