Fred McDowell You Gotta Move

Lyricist:Fred Mcdowell , Reverand Gary Davis

You gotta move, you gotta move
You gotta move child, you gotta move
But when the Lord gets ready, you gotta move

You may be high, you may be low
You may be rich, child, you may be poor
But when the Lord gets ready, you gotta move

You see that woman, that walk the street
You see the policeman, out on his beat
But when the Lord gets ready, you gotta move

You gotta move, you gotta move
You gotta move child, you gotta move
But when the Lord gets ready, you gotta move

When the lord gets ready you gotta move lyrics

Artista: Mississippi Fred McDowell
Canzone: You Gotta Move (Gary Davis / Fred Mcdowell ?) (1965)

Artista: The Rolling Stones
Album: Sticky Fingers (1971)

“You Gotta Move” is a traditional African-American spiritual song. The lyrics carry the Christian message that regardless of one’s situation in life, it is God who determines one’s ultimate fate. Beginning around the 1940s, the song has been recorded by a variety of gospel musicians, usually as “You Got to Move” or “You’ve Got to Move”.

In 1965, Mississippi bluesman Fred McDowell recorded it as a slow, slide guitar Hill country blues solo piece. His rendition inspired many subsequent recordings, including a popular electric-combo version by English rock group the Rolling Stones. The band performed and recorded the song in 1969, and they released it in 1971 on the Sticky Fingers album. The song generally follows an eight-bar blues arrangement and has been compared to “Sitting on Top of the World”.[1] (You Gotta Move (song))

You Gotta Move (lyrics)

You gotta to move
You gotta to move
You gotta to move, child
You gotta to move
Oh, when the Lord get ready
You gotta to move
You may be high
You may be low
You may be rich, child
You may be poor
But when the Lord get ready
You gotta to move
You see that woman
Who walks the street
You see that police
Upon his beat
But then the Lord get ready
You gotta to move
You gotta move
