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
