Get Ready Lyrics:

"I never met a girl who makes me feel the way
that you do. (You're alright)
Whenever I'm asked who makes my dreams
real, I say that you do. (You're outta sight)

So, fee-fi-fo-fum
Look out baby, 'cause here I come.

And I'm bringing you a love that's true.
So get ready, so get ready.
I'm gonna try to make you love me too.
So get ready, so get ready 'cause here I come.

(Get ready 'cause here I come) I'm on my way.
(Get ready 'cause here I come)

If you wanna play hide and seek with love, let
me remind you (It's alright)
But the lovin' you're gonna miss and the time it
take to find you (It's outta sight)

So, fiddley-dee, fiddley-dum
Look out baby, 'cause here I come.

And I'm bringing you a love that's true.
So get ready, so get ready.
I'm gonna try to make you love me too.
So get ready, so get ready 'cause here I come.

(Get ready 'cause here I come) I'm on my way.
(Get ready 'cause here I come)
(Ger ready)

[Instrumental]

If all my friends should want you too, I'll understand it. (Be alright)
I hope I get to you before they do, the way I planned it. (Be outta sight)

So tiddley-dee, tiddley-dum
Look out baby, 'cause here I come.

And I'm bringing you a love that's true.
So get ready, so get ready.
I'm gonna try to make you love me too.
So get ready, so get ready 'cause here I come.

(Get ready 'cause here I come) I'm on my way.
(Get ready 'cause here I come)
(Get ready 'cause here I come-a)
(Get ready)"

Various - LONG TRAIN RUNNIN' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Train_Runnin)


Written by Tom Johnston (http://www.doobiebrothers.net/biography/tom-johnston/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Johnston_(US_musician))

Long Train Runnin Lyrics:

"`Down around the corner
A half a mile from here
You see them old trains runnin'
And you watch them disappear
Without love
Where would you be now
Without love
You know I saw Miss Lucy
Down along the tracks
She lost her home and her family
And she won't be comin' back
Without love
Where would you be now
Without love
Well the Illinois Central
And the Southern Central Freight
Gotta keep on pushin' Mama
'Cause you know they're runnin' late
Without love
Where would you be now - now, now, now
Without love

Where pistons keep on churnin'
And the wheels go 'round and 'round
And the steel rails are cold and hard
For the miles that they go down
Without love
Where would you be right now
Without love
Where would you be now"

So here are two famous songs, both were hits all around the world. "Get Ready" is originally released in 1966, and "Long Train Runnin" is from 1973. There are two reasons why i made this entry. First, Traks made a pretty good cover version for both songs, second , i like these songs very much.
So it is a good occasion to share with you all versions i have to compare.
There are many more versions still missing, i hope you will send me further ones if you have some.
My favourite versions are:
The best is Richie Havens - Long Train Running (1976) and as for "Get Ready", i bet it on Kirka, King Curtis, Rare Earth, Smokey Robinson'79, Wisbone Ash, Robin Hitchkock, The Proclaimers and Ash.
Don't forget to check also the Traks' versions!!

I have a question about the download for The Temptations "Get Ready" via rapidshare. Is the download just the original song or is that all 25 of those songs? I don't have a rapidshare account and I cannot find those rare versions ANYWYERE! Not limewire, not Itunes... impossible! Anyway. Is there any other way I can get a hold of this download? I would love, love, love you FOREVER!!! Thanks!

Hello! What a wonderful post. I'm afraid the link no longer seems to work though - do you happen to know of any alternatives? Keep up the good work!
