Went to the river to be baptised
When I had got there to my surprise
My neighbours were gone and the preacher too
I cried oh Lord what shall I do
Then a voice cried out so loud and plain
I heard some one calling my name
Singing your right on time
Right on time
It was John saying your right on time
Your right on time
Right on time by the John saying
Your right on time
Up on a mountain one cloudy day
I closed my eyes and I began to pray
When I opend my eyes you know the sun broke through
My heart get happy my soul was new
I started walking before too long
I heard someone singing my song
Singing your right on time
Right on time by the John saying
Your right on time
Your right on time
Right on time by the John saying
Your right on time
Went to the station endin for that rain
Made up my mind to ride that gospel train
When I got there the train was picking up speed
I cried oh Lord fell on my knees
When the brakeman heard he slowed that train right down
When I jumped on board he said your glory bound
Your right on time
Right on time by the John saying
Your right on time
Your right on time
Right on time by the John saying
Your right on time
So when I feel like every hope has died
I remember that voice by the water side
Your right on time
Right on time by the John saying
Your right on time
Your right on time
Right on time by the John saying
Your right on time
Your right on time
Right on time by the John saying
Your right on time
Your right on time
Right on time by the John saying
Your right on time
How going home on the morning train
