You're Gonna Need Somebody On Your Bond Lyrics - The Essential Taj Mahal - Taj Mahal

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
