You're Gonna Need Somebody On Your Bond

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

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 they're gonna need somebody on their bond

Whoa, you take Maivus Staples and ole Corn Cheevers [unverified]

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
