lyrics

Rode the enterprise today out of town and far away
Yeah, I took that train alone, cos it seemed like time that I got gone

Oh girl, when you know, yeah you know it’s time to go?
You gotta be ready-o, you gotta be ready-o, you gotta be ready, oh,
You gotta be ready-o, you gotta be ready-o, you gotta be ready, oh...
Felt the four winds pulling at my sleeve
Ever fibre urging me to leave
And the fibre makes a tapestry
For a grander plan

Oh girl, when you know, yeah you know it’s time to go?
You gotta be ready-o, you gotta be ready-o, you gotta be ready, oh,
You gotta be ready-o, you gotta be ready-o, you gotta be ready, oh...

It’s not charitable or kind, not to tell him what’s on your mind

You gotta be ready-o, you've gotta be ready-o, you gotta be ready, oh,
You gotta be ready-o, you gotta be ready-o, you gotta be ready, oh,
You gotta be ready-o, you gotta be ready-o, you gotta be ready, oh,
You gotta be ready-o, you gotta be ready-o, you gotta be ready, oh...
You've got to be ready-o, you gotta be ready-o, you gotta be ready, oh…
