“If You Get There Before I Do”
Description
"If you get there before I do, all right, all right, Jesus will make it all right. Just tell them that I am coming too, all right, all right. If you get there before I do, all right, Just scratch a hole and pull me through, all right, all right."
Notes
The title line, of course, is common and floats (see the cross-references). But the chorus and form implies that this is a separate piece. - RBW
Cross references
