You're gonna need somebody on your bond child
You're gonna need somebody on your bond
When it's late 'round midnight and old man death comes slippin
into the room
You're gonna need somebody on your bond (A,A,B turn)
You take Mary and Martha standin up in the hillside
Mary explainin' to Martha, "darlin look at the river deep
and the water wide."
Here comes ole Moses, faithful Moses carryin' big ole stones
up the hill
Tellin everybody their gonna need somebody on their bond
leads--play body of song twice using one instrument (keyboard or
mouthharp) first and add another instrument (guitar or horns)
to accompany instrument 1 during second lead
Whoa, you tak Maivus Staples and ole Corn Cheevers(?) they got the
good side on their bond
Oh I been listen to the music people ever since the day I was born
My momma raised me in a room across from the church by the tree and that
sweet gospel music oh how it used to comfort me
Tellin everybody they're gonna need somebody on their bond
Repeat first verse (1st two lines quietly then build to end by
repeating last line of verse (end with B, A, E)
song appears on many of Taj's recordings as it one of his signature
tunes; he plays it at many different tempos so find one that works for
you
I've borrowed a bit from the archives and wanted to give a little
something back.
