Blood Harmony

God gave mama a singing voice

Mama passed it down to me

Always with me, near my heart

Beat in rhythm with her melody

More than flesh, more than bone

When you sing, I don't sing alone

I said, "Y'all know what I need

Lay it back on the top of the beat"

I said, "Y'all know what I need

C'mon and clap your hands and stomp your feet"

If you can count to four

You don't need a-nothin' more

Help me make that chord

There's nothing quite like blood harmony, oh

Blood harmony, oh, oh

Blackbird singing for herself

She got wings to bear her far away

The night surrenders to the dawn

Still, I can hear the blackbird song

More than flesh, more than bone

When you sing, I don't sing alone

I said, "Y'all know what I need

Lay it back on the top of the beat"

I said, "Y'all know what I need

C'mon and clap your hands and stomp your feet"

If you can count to four

You don't need a-nothing more

Help me make that chord

There's nothing quite like blood harmony, oh

Blood harmony, oh, oh

It's gonna roll, roll like a river

Rhythm gonna set you free

You got soul

Stand and deliver

Shake that family tree

It's gonna roll, roll like a river

Rhythm gonna set you free

You got a soul

Stand and deliver

Shake that family tree

I say, "Y'all know what I need

C'mon and lay it back on the top of the beat"

I said, "Y'all know what I need

C'mon and clap those hands and stomp those feet"

If you can count to four

You don't need a-nothing more

Help me make that chord

There's nothing quite like blood harmony, oh

Blood harmony, oh, oh
