Blind Willie Johnson — Youll Need Somebody On Your Bond

[Chorus: Blind Willie Johnson & Willie B. Harris] Well... You're gonna need somebody on your bond You're gonna need somebody on your bond Lord, Just wait till the midnight when death comes slippin' in your room You're gonna need, ah, somebody on your bond [Verse 1: Blind Willie Johnson] I heard the voice of Jesus saying, He told me He had risen Now in the waning midnight hour, I don't hold my breath [Chorus: Blind Willie Johnson & Willie B. Harris] You're gonna need somebody on your bond You're gonna need somebody on your bond Lord, Just wait till the midnight when death comes slippin' in your room You're gonna need, ah, somebody on your bond [Verse 2: Blind Willie Johnson] When you was a gambler, nobody would go your bond Fell on your knees and began to pray, 'cause Jesus would go your bond [Chorus: Blind Willie Johnson & Willie B. Harris] You're gonna need somebody on your bond You're gonna need somebody on your bond Lord, Just wait till the midnight when death comes slippin' in your room You're gonna need, ah, somebody on your bond [Verse 3: Blind Willie Johnson] I came the day that sad was wearied, wounded, sad Bounds that held me left this place He has made me glad [Chorus: Blind Willie Johnson & Willie B. Harris] I'm gonna need somebody on my bond Lord, I've got somebody on my bond Lord, just wait till the midnight when death comes slippin' in your room I've got somebody on my bond
