Be Ready When I Call You

Come follow me softly,
Down between the rows.
I will take you across the river
Where the water rolls and flows.
Be ready when I call you. Be ready when I call you.
Hold onto my hand, while I open up this door.
Going to take you someplace that you've never been before. Be ready when I call you. Be ready when I call you.
You know you got to tremble when the devil calls your name.
Some come to me for fortune some come to me for fame.
But if you didn't want my gifts, you shouldn't have signed your name. Be ready when I call you. Be ready when I call you.
I'll be coming from the South. Gonna take you to the East. Going to hang on to you softly, but I really am a beast.
Be ready when I call you. Be ready when I call you.
You know you got to tremble when the devil calls your name.
Sometimes I might whisper. Sometimes I might shout.
Or I can come in through the window And blow your candle out.
There's a sweet tongue like an angel Inside the devil's mouth.
Be ready when I call you.
Be ready when I call you.
You'd better pack your suitcase. Leave it by the door. Tell your friends & family, you won't be back no more. Be ready when I call you. Be ready when I call you.
Come follow me softly, down between the rows.
I will take you across the river
Where the water rolls and flows.
Be ready when I call you. Be ready when I call you.
You know you got to tremble when the devil calls your name. You know you got to tremble when the devil calls your name. You know you got to tremble when the devil calls your name.
