Flack, Roberta - Sunday And Sister Jones Lyrics

Story telling at it’s Best.

Jim jones 'pray for reign' intro brought me here....
Shoutout to those who pay homage to the greats.
The sample was dope.
The song is an awesome classic

When love was real love. Now it's lust or nuts😲😷🤕😢😧. Have you ever love and not lust?

Love it, love it love it. Simple ❤️

Wow I pray to be blessed with such a partner Rev Jones. Till death do us apart. Lovely music.

such a great track, stupendous album, saw Roberta at the O2 arena recently , big disappointment, you know the type of performance that you wish you never saw as it taints the memory. not because of her age but because she never sang so many of her great songs like this but had her family on singing their music and she sang at least 6 beatles songs , wtf, no idea why we were given that rubbish, left early and played her original albums on the 2 hour journey home . Brother took me as a surprise for introducing him as a young teenager back in the day, cheers bruv but we both felt really let down.....Icon in decline

it will always be my shinning Star

Bless you all. 🙏🏿

Five minutes of perfection. This is a masterclass.

Beautiful music

It was early Sunday evening just before the death of day.
All the family friends were grievin'
Rev. Jones just pa*sed away.
Sister Jones had seen it comin'.
She was familiar with the signs.
Late one night I heard her humming while strollin' 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:
"Lord, he's slippin' through my fingers.
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 breathin'
I still hear her mournin' song
Life was cryin' from her body like water from a dryin' 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.
