Sunday and Sister Jones (LP版) - Roberta Flack (罗伯特·弗兰克)
It was early Sunday evening just before the death of day
All the family friends were grieving
Rev Jones just passed away
Sister Jones had seen it coming
She was familiar with the signs
Late one night I heard her humming while strolling through the Georgia pines
She said lord if you take him away I don't want to live
It was early Sunday morning just before the birth of day
I can hear the rooster crowing
Sister Jones knelt down and prayed
She said
Lord he's slipping through my fingers
Is death
Is death the master of us all
Lord I'm humble here before you
Just grant this life and don't let him fall
She said lord if you take him away
I don't want to live another day
Later on that Sunday evening just before the midnight dawn
Sister Jones was heavy breathing
I still hear her mourning song
Life was crying from her body like water from a drying well
Well I heard her whisper thank you Jesus just before the midnight bell
Sister Jones was taken away she didn't live
Sister Jones was taken away she did not live another day
Sister Jones was taken away she didn't live
Sister Jones was taken away she didn't live another day
