Grace Jones - Williams' Blood Lyrics
You can't save me, you can't save a wretch like me
When she was seventeen
She married a Preacher Man
And she settled down
Followed him all around
Having little babies
Singing in a little Church
In a little ghost town
She's so happy
(I don't want to keep up I can't keep up)
She's so happy, keeping up
(I don't wanna keep up, keeping up with the Jones)
Grandpa Dan travelled
Playing on the road
With Nat King Cole
And he womanized
Staying up all night
Cruisin'up around the town
From town to town to town
(Let me go - ahhh ah Hurricane)
(Just let me go - ahhh ah I'm going to care)
Why don't you be a Jones like your Sister and your brother Noel
when are you gonna be a Jones your just like your Dad
God bless his soul
I've got the Williams' blood in me
I've got the Williams' blood in me
I've got the Williams' blood in me
(I've got the Williams' blood)
I've got the Williams' blood in me
In me, in me, in me, running though my veins
Williams' blood in me
In a room full of doves
I'm waiting for the Angels
Spreading my wings
So I can fly
(Let me fly)
Hurricane
-You can't save a wretch like me-
(Let me fly ahhhh ahh - hurricane)
(Let me go - ahhh ah Hurricane)
Why don't you be a Jones like your Sister and your brother Noel
when are you gonna be a Jones your just like your Dad
God bless his soul
I've got the Williams' blood in me
I've got the Williams' blood in me
I've got the Williams' blood in me
I've got the Williams' blood in me
I've got the Williams' blood in me
(I don't wanna keep up, I can't keep up)
(I don't wanna keep up, I can't keep up)
(Keeping up with the Jones')
Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me

Grace Jones Williams' Blood Comments
No body comes close to this woman. An extraordinary talent.
Goosebumps
I commented on this video previously but every time I watch this amazing video - shit, that Jamaican bitch sends massive shivers down my English spine! Period.
a REAL ARTist. Such a great singer. A beautiful soothing voice completed with a great showmanship and energy.
Absolutely thrilled to see her this summer. Will be an absolute honor to be in the same room as this icon!
Merveilleuse, magnifique, pas de mots pour te décrire j’adore
I LOVE THIS SOOOO MUCH!!!!!
The other side of Patti Labelle!! She is Le Grande Diva!!! Grace F Jones!!!!!
She's a one off. Visually stunning and a brilliant voice. Can't take my eyes off her. Cheers Grace.
Amazing! The song brings me back to the Bond movies....
This lady is incredible
riveting....amazing performer....an original...there will never be another Grace Jones
Iconic ❤️
Am still upset that she wasn't chosen as Storm for X-Men. Halle Berry is good but Storm she is not. One of the biggest miscasts in Hollywood herstory.
Uma diva consagrada no mundo inteiro 😍😍😍 louca por ela 😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏!!!
Ultimate diva. Queer, talented, bizarre, charismatic. Top of the class. Incomparable. Thanks this Earth for producing such a creature, you're an inspiration of all time, Grace. Bow down before your artistic legacy.
https://youtu.be/Z3cbvI1bAsw La vie en rose, just wait until the end
It is a mixed show of music styles, it is also a mixed audiance - don't forget to look up her other performance when she was actually half naked when she turned around, from the back, they might still have been in shock. I am from Belgium and when i saw her perform on another occasion, the crowd went ballistic. And yes she sings live and yes she is kind also. She almost started her career in Belgium, she had a Belgian female promotor.
Ai ,pra mim,nao trm madona ou lady gaga.a anita e ad Ludmila nem valem um peido dela.imbativel
Can I just mega like it? Do not find the button!!!!!
The most underrated performer and diva
Unapologetic White Hot Amazing Grace.....Outstanding!
This woman is not only stunning but an all time living legend. The original is the best
Oh My God. What an amazing song and WHAT AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE! I have tears streaming down my face. That was simply INCREDIBLE!! God Bless You, Grace!
xxx
Beautiful
This is who Lady Gaga ripped her style from
She appeared at Paradise Garage a few times. What a dynamo. Loved her.
Her and her brother's birthday was 5/19/?....fraternal twins.
ssw her in melbourne this year,AMAZING!!!!!!
True artist..
There I say it again,Lady gaga,take note,you can never aspire to be the Original,stunning,regal!Incomparable,once in a centerian,God blessed,entertainment,that is Grace jones😎
May I say that she's the mother of Black Panter?
She must've been a pharonic emperor somewhere in Africa in her previous life.
wow great...
she should of gotten a better wig. she has the money for it IT LOOKS SO BAD she needs to put some baby power in it
GRACE JONES!
ELECTRIFYING
I like this live version of this song better and her costume is magnificent. Her documentary explains the lyrics of this song and Grace is a once in a lifetime entertainer.
Such a breath taking performance and excellence beyond everything voice
Grace captivates and leaves you haunted!
I am amazed that she can run 7 inch high heels!
Why was Grace Jones not cast as Storm in the X-Men movies??
Grace is the best kept secret in the music industry.
The truth is she really can sing. Sometimes she does that 'talking over' the track that some people think isn't singing. But when you study a lot of successful music artists, it's surprising how many of them do this. It's a valid course in Rock music, in Hip Hop. Many forms of music.
But listen closely. Grace sings! She hits the notes. She holds the notes. She's not faking that. And to that live and to keep it up for a whole performance is not just a feat of stamina, it is a feat of talent.
Maybe you need to be a music producer and to have worked with a few singers who couldn't hold a candle to Grace. But those in the know hold her in high regard.
Nobody who has ever worked with serious talent would ever slag Grace Jones off. She is the real deal.
Probably one of the most under-rated and under-estimated artists ever.
Why do you think 'chumps' like Sly and Robbie and Trevor Horn and Chris Blackwell took her so seriously? Because she was a puppet? Or because she brought something true and unique to the table for them to help fashion in to something great?
Listen to her records. They have never been bettered.
The fact she can cut it live and gives good performances is the icing on an otherwise delicious cake. Grace is the best.
In fact, she may even be THE BEST!
Awesome performance. This song is all about her and her Family - the Jones's on her Father's side, and the Williams on her Mothers side.
Ummm...😞
LOVE this woman! Saw her live a couple of years ago - she's a total legend! And this is my fave song!! Outstanding!
She is wonderful
Queen Nuwa
Yes its true..the Is GRACE JONES.FASHIONISTA
This is where Lady Gaga gets her style from....
WOW WOW WOW!!!
Perfect in her imperfections!
Beautiful! Slave is my all time favourite! Here Grace reminds me of Tina Turner in madmax
What kind of audience is that??!! OMG, my nephew's people :D :D
But nephew's got the Moreira blood in him ;)
We'd be jumping and hurraying...
lmao thats a man
phuphroo u r obviously to stupid or too young & Stupid to understand who “She” is?! She is 100% woman.
She was blessed with perfect bone structure.. she doesn’t apologise for looking Androgynous- that is her Image.
In her song “ walking in the rain” during her live performances on her “One MAN SHOW” tour she sings “ feeling like a Woman- Looking like a Man!”
She has a powerful presence as anyone who’s ever seen her perform back in the 80s 90s will attest. And she used the fact that her strong features gave her a very strong androgynous appearance. Hello! One Man Show was the title of her show during the late 80s. She even wore a mans suit & set fashion trends with her looks style & hair cut. Every young Afro American copied her Flat top hair style.
Cherrelle Anderson so we should applaud her for making crossdressing trendy? Bitch shut the fuck up and get your femenazi ass the hell off youtube
The Best!
You can't save me, you can't save a wretch like me
When she was seventeen
She married a Preacher Man
And she settled down
In a little part of town
Followed him all around
Having little babies
Singing in a little Church
In a little ghost town
She's so happy
(I don't want to keep up I can't keep up)
She's so happy, keeping up
(I don't wanna keep up, keeping up with the Jones')
Finally she told me
Grandpa Dan travelled
Playing on the road
With Nat King Cole
And he womanised
Staying up all night
Cruisin'up around the town
From town to town to town
(Let me go, ah ah Hurricane)
(Just let me go, ah ah I'm going to care)
a Masterpiece, every song is of Grace Jones' !! <3
X-Men storm live!
This is incredible !!!
I love her outfit
The GREAT ,GRACE!!!!LOVE,LOVE,LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shes crazy, shes art, i love her! ingenious song!!
Èxtraodinary! Unique! Glamorous! What an artist! Grace Jones!!
How awesome would have been this concert?
She's singing this live while performing her ass off, running up and down that runway, and that song runs through a tonal vocal range.
I heard her on CKFM Toronto in 1977.. BRILLIANT Creation of art and music.. LOVE GRACE! La Vien Rose... Pure perfection
Loucura, loucura, loucura. Como diz o Luciano Hulk. Arte jorrando pelos poros.
the queen of queen...
I had the Opportunity to meet her in Ocho Rio's, Jamaica while I was staying at the Jamica Grande Hotel for a week in 1996.
There was "James Bond" festival going on there at the time and a boat load of all the characters, both good and bad were there.
Miss. Grace was SO kewl and really nice! It was like a vision I'd never seen! Loved Her! Saw Ursula Andress at breakfast one morning a table away. She looked damn good too for her age.
wow, the voice is still amazing
...can anyone tell me why SHE didn't get to be a gay icon? she is everything the gay icons are, AND, on top, she is doing it tastefully...! (or maybe she is I'm just a bit behind times? )
SHE WAS AND IS A GAY ICON.
Much of the generation of that made her an icon is now dead, sad to say, and the young gays don't know their history.
In fact, I saw film of her recently as Grand Marshall of San Francisco Pride ca. 1978.
She's not gay...She married Dolph Lundgren...from the Rocky movie and has kids!
Quit That it's not what you'd expect the term to mean without enough context, but the term "gay icon" is used for someone who is an icon among gays (rather than icons who are gay), and many gay icons are heterosexual.
nonetheless, there is something kind of queer and similar to gayness in her relationship with Dolph Lundgren in particular ... you get the strong impression that a lot of what they bonded over was their overlap in masculinity (I haven't looked into anything with Grace's other boyfriends or ex husband though, so idk if this was a strong quality in her other relationships too given how androgynous she is)
Wow, Jones, Grace Jones.
Grace so talented and beautiful time for clothes
Before Gaga... was Grace Jones
Lady Gaga has copied GRACE JONES.
I never get tired of this song. Such captivating lyrics and sound. Most of all her voice. I saw Grace live a few years ago and I rate it one of the best experiences of my life. She is truly an artist and musical innovator. She is so far ahead of her time.
Con70 años grace es espectacular
This my favorite song!!!! There is a powerful message. love this!!! I love you Grace!!!
That outfit is so stunning on her. I wish the camera would hold still enough for me to take it in LOL
Unbelievable. I feel incredibly lucky to even see this - What a performance! Thank you to who ever posted this! But more thank Grace! There is clearly much more to her, the music, the performance, the clothes the beauty...Where do you get anybody even close to nailing all in one go? Thats a bench mark!
lol when people bring up today's music, im going to point them in the direction of this video and drop the mic!
LADY GAGA THE QUEEN OF COPY CAT COPIED MADONNA AND GRACE JONES
Love this Jones joint!
💣💣💣💣💣💣💣🌸
Worst audience ever! They should be screaming and dancing and crying for her.
I agree to an extent but the song is not pure theatrics and she is serving once in a life time performance. I hate to admit this but I too think I’d be stuck in motion with mouth open as the Queen delivers.
The Proms is an event for mainly classical music which invites pop stars to bring versions of their songs with a classical orchestra.
The visitors are often posh middle aged people. We'll see how much screaming and dancing you'll be doing when you are 55 Enrique :p
omfgggg love her outfitted, whyyyyyy didn't she play storm in the xmen film, instead of lifeless berry!!!
Thank the gods for William's Blood
Que energia !! Diosa
Fantastic energy. Grace pounds it.
Underestimated singer.
Great and unique voice.
Wow amazing... love it... real talent and what an inspiration...
beautiful!!!!!!!
She is a once in a generation performer We have been lucky to be in the planet the same time as her - such a brilliant visual artist... these clips are incredible. No one comes close. The rest are pretenders Her movement, her costumes , her audacity, her joyous eccentricity. Ladies and gentleman ...here's Grace And I say that as a Madonna fan
Anne Tessari Madonna is in a category all her own, so is miss Jones.
wow. awesome
