Lyrics
Get On Board
I was headin' down the road one day
and got a ride with an old man named Fred
He said how long has it been, son
have you read the bible yet
I said my daddy's a preacher
and I'm sure I've heard it all
get down on your knees son
and give the Lord your all
Chorus
And ol' Fred, he was shinin' when he was
talkin' about the Lord
before you leave today you better
get onboard
Fred and I were drivin' along
and ol' Fred was praisin' the Lord
he said he was a christian for
thirty years or more
I saw a tear in ol' Fred's eye when
I got out and closed the door
I know Fred's in heaven now
he's there, with my Lord
Chorus X 2
Ol' Fred he was a christian - get onboard
oh for thirty years or more - get onboard
get down on your knees, son - get onboard
give the Lord your all - oh get on board
Freds a praisin' an' a drivin' - get on board
a tear in ol' Fred's eye - oh get onboard
I said my daddy was a preacher - oh get onboard
before you leave today you'd better - get onboard
