I’ve Been Buked and Scorned Songtext
von Lightnin’ Hopkins

You gon′ need somebody on your barm
I can point you to the man
And tell you his name
You gon' need
Tell her I been built, I been strong
Tell her I been built, I been strong
You gon′ need, oh man, on your barm
You gon' need King Jesus on your barm
I've been worried how we living this long
I′ve been worried how we living this long
We been living a great long time
But now′s the time to get him on your barm
On your barm

Well everybody gon' need somebody on their barm
Everybody gon′ need somebody on their barm
When the room get dark
And death come creeping in the room
You gon' need somebody on your barm
What you need on your own, Brother McGee?


You′ve got to have, have somebody on your barm
You've got to have somebody on your barm
When your room is dark
Death comes creeping to your bed
You gon′ need, need somebody on your barm
Brother had to have somebody on his barm
Brother had to have somebody on his barm
'Cause the room got dark
Death come creeping to the bed
She had to have King Jesus on her barm

Lord I been built, and I been strong
Tell her I been built, and I been strong
You gon' need King Jesus on your barm

One moment, aha
My sister need somebody on her barm
My sister need somebody on her barm
When the room get dark
And death come creeping in the room
You gon′ need somebody on your barm

King Jesus is the man on your barm
King Jesus is the man for your barm
You gon′ need King Jesus on your barm

My sister she been craving for someone
My sister she been craving for someone
She been living long enough
But she didn't know you got to get somebody
