I Gotta Keep on Moving

Curtis Mayfield

[Intro]
Ba do, ba do do do do
Ba do do do do
Ba do do do do
Ba do do do do

[Chorus]
Lord, I got to keep on movin'
Lord, I got to get on down
I say Lord, I got to keep on movin'
'Cause Lord, I can't be found
'Cause Lord, they're comin' after me

[Verse 1]
Listen to me
I've been accused for a killin'
Lord knows I didn't do
But hatin' me they are willin'
And that's a why (I got to get on) got to get on through
'Cause Lord, they're comin' after me

[Chorus]
Yeah, I say Lord, I got to keep on movin'
I say Lord, I got to get on down
Lord, I got to keep on movin', mm mm
'Cause Lord, I can't be found
'Cause Lord, they're comin' after me

[Verse 2]
Now listen!
I've got two boys and a woman
They're gonna suffer now
Lord, forgive me for not going back
But I'll be dead anyhow
I say I'll be dead anyhow

[Chorus]
Yeah, I say Lord, I got to keep on movin'
Lord, I got to get on down, mhm
Lord, I got to keep on movin' yeah yeah
'Cause Lord, I can't be found
Because Lord, they're comin' after me

[Bridge]
Now maybe someday I'll find a piece of land
Somewhere not botherin' anyone
Then I'll send for my love love sweet woman
And my two grown up sons
And my two grown up sons

[Outro]
One more time
I say Lord, I got to keep on movin'
I say Lord, I got to get on down
Lord, I got to keep on movin' yeah yeah
'Cause Lord, I can't be found
Because Lord, they're comin' after me
A one more time
Now Lord, I got to keep on movin'
I say Lord, I got to get on down
Lord, I got to keep on movin', mhm
Because Lord, I can't be found
'Cause Lord, they're comin' after me
