You got to move, you got to move
You got to move, child, you got to move
Oh when the Lord get ready
You got to move

You may be high, you may be low
You may be rich, child, you may be poor
But when the Lord get ready
You got to move

You see that woman who walks the streets
You see that police upon his beat
But when the Lord get ready
You got to move

You got to move
 
 

TrackTalk

I very rarely play slide on records. There's always a better slide player in the band than me. I did use slide on things, mostly on acoustic stuff like You Gotta Move and Prodigal Son, stuff like that, open-D or open-E.

- Keith Richards, 1989


For the slide part of You Gotta Move I used a Fender Telecaster... (Keith played) a National guitar.

- Mick Taylor, 1979
