If You're Ready (Come Go With Me) Lyrics

If you're ready come go with me
No hatred
Will be tolerated
Peace love all between the races
Love is the only transportation
To where there;s communications
If you're ready come go with me
The boat is after
The ever here to there
No wars will ever be declared
No economical exploitation
No political domination
Take your evil
Come go with me
Genocide
Get ready
Troublemaker
You better get ready now
Liars
I'm waiting on ya

If You're Ready (Come Go With Me)

This was written by Raymond Jackson, Carl Hampton and Homer Banks, who were songwriters for Stax Records in Memphis, where many Soul artists like Otis Redding recorded. They were about to go to their favorite lunch spot, the Four Way Grill, when Jackson called out, "If you're ready, come go with me." They started working on a song based on that phrase, and had it finished by lunch time the next day.
