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
