《Sunday and Sister Jones》歌词

[00:00:00] Sunday and Sister Jones (LP版) - Roberta Flack (罗伯特·弗兰克)

[00:00:16] It was early Sunday evening just before the death of day

[00:00:30] All the family friends were grieving

[00:00:36] Rev Jones just passed away

[00:00:42] Sister Jones had seen it coming

[00:00:49] She was familiar with the signs

[00:00:57] Late one night I heard her humming while strolling through the Georgia pines

[00:01:07] She said lord if you take him away I don't want to live

[00:01:23] It was early Sunday morning just before the birth of day

[00:01:37] I can hear the rooster crowing

[00:01:43] Sister Jones knelt down and prayed

[00:01:48] She said

[00:01:50] Lord he's slipping through my fingers

[00:01:57] Is death

[00:01:59] Is death the master of us all

[00:02:04] Lord I'm humble here before you

[00:02:10] Just grant this life and don't let him fall

[00:02:15] She said lord if you take him away

[00:02:22] I don't want to live another day

[00:02:59] Later on that Sunday evening just before the midnight dawn

[00:03:11] Sister Jones was heavy breathing

[00:03:17] I still hear her mourning song

[00:03:24] Life was crying from her body like water from a drying well

[00:03:36] Well I heard her whisper thank you Jesus just before the midnight bell

[00:03:51] Sister Jones was taken away she didn't live

[00:04:04] Sister Jones was taken away she did not live another day

[00:04:17] Sister Jones was taken away she didn't live

[00:04:30] Sister Jones was taken away she didn't live another day
