If I got my ticket, can I ride?

Ref.: Lawd, if I got my ticket, can I ride?
Lawd, if I got my ticket, can I ride?
Lawd, if I got my ticket, can I ride?
Ride away to the heaven that mornin'.

1) Tell you one thing, it certainly is sho',
The Judgment's comin' an' I don't know;
Want to be ready when I'm called to go,
If anything lackin', Lawd, let me know.

2) Hear a great talk of the Judgment Day,
Got no time to projick away:
Away by and by, without a doubt,
Jehovah will order His angels out.
Clean out the world and leave no sin.
Tell me, please, where have you been?"

3) Hear big talk of the gospel train,
"You want to gtt on it?" "Yes, that's my aim."
Stand at the station and patiently wait.
The train is coming and it's never late.
So long coming that it worried my mind,
Thought it wa'n't coming, but was just on time
