Blind Willie Johnson - drawing by Harvey Dog 2024 for the video "You're Gonna Need Somebody on Your Bond".

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

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

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

When you was a gambler, nobody would go your bond
Fell on your knees and began to pray, ’cause Jesus would go your bond

Jesus Is Your Bond - drawing by Harvey Dog 2024 for the video "You're Gonna Need Somebody on Your Bond".

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

I came the day that sad was wearied, wounded and sad
Bounds that held me left this place He has made me glad

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
