It was early Sunday evening just before the death of day All the family friends were grievin' Rev. Jones just passed 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 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

My favorite song of hers. Sad news that ALS has now rendered her unable to sing again. So glad we've had so long to spend with her.
Extraordinary and totally flawless! Wow.
one of my favourite songs
FLAWLESS performance! Thank you for sharing this.
So Much Talent 🎶🎵🎤🎼✨
Good lord! Glorious. Magnificent! Happy Birthday, Miss Flack!

My pleasure!
It was early Sunday evening just before the death of day
All the family friends were grievin'
Rev. Jones just passed 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 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
Thank you for the lyrics.
Beautiful.
roberta flack, my favorite song of hers. she owns it. credits to the penthouse players clique, who sampled it and made me find the song back in 1992.
I've been lookin' for somethin'... a seed of it is in her voice. Loss, the peculiar pain of livin' in America an lovin' your African self.
Perfection in every aspect
Thanks for this.. Classic
No words for this one.
Beautiful
You are so sosososososos talented
Thank you for this! You're doing the Lawd's work.
This is deep! 🥰

Roberta also performed a beautiful version of Stevie Wonder's "I Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer"
It would be great if you could uploadt it.
It's a pleasure, now added at th-cam.com/video/JkIbSbPj8fQ/w-d-xo.html
