1
Johnny took the 4:05 and he rode it
2
Rode it down the line
3
He did not know that the ghost of Charlie Christian
4
Was riding too
5
That's when he got the feeling
6
Felt his soul and spirit rise
7
Closed his eyes and saw a vision
8
And he was sanctified
9
He said,
10
"I have heard a calling
11
I have heard a calling
12
I have heard it in the night
13
And I stood under the light of the calling."
14
Somebody brushed him on the shoulder
15
He felt a chill run right down his spine
16
He did not know that the ghost of Charlie Christian
17
Was riding too
18
(riding too)
19
But that's when he got the feeling
20
[With?] the music coming up from the back
21
Heard the sound of fingers on steel
22
And a wheel upon a track
23
(Chorus)

He said,
25
"I have heard a calling
26
I can heard a calling
27
Like a priest or a missionary
28
I am only following the calling."
29
Following the calling....
