[length: 02:47]
[00:07.16]While out sailing on the ocean
[00:09.97]While out sailing on the sea
[00:13.41]Bumped into the Saviour
[00:16.28]He said, “Pardon me”
[00:18.55]I said, “Jesus you look tired”
[00:21.21]He said, “Jesus so do you
[00:24.13]Oh, sit down son
[00:25.51]’Cause I got some fat to chew”
[00:29.37]You see, everybody needs somebody
[00:32.70]That they can talk to
[00:34.89]Someone to open up their ears
[00:37.79]And let that trouble through
[00:40.13]Now you don’t have to sympathize
[00:43.13]Or care what they may do
[00:45.68]But everybody needs somebody that they can talk to
[00:51.03]
[00:57.85]Well, he spoke to me of morality
[01:00.44]Starvation, pain, and sin
[01:03.50]Matter of fact, the whole dang time
[01:06.09]I only got few words in
[01:08.92]But I won’t squawk
[01:10.78]Let ‘im talk
[01:11.35]Hell, it’s been a long long time
[01:14.82]Any friend that’s been turned down
[01:17.21]Is bound to be a friend of mine
[01:19.83]’Cause everybody needs somebody
[01:22.80]That they can talk to
[01:25.07]Someone to open up their ears
[01:28.05]And let that trouble through
[01:30.44]Now you don’t have to sympathize
[01:33.01]Or care what they may do
[01:35.95]But everybody needs somebody that they can talk to
[01:41.10]Pick it
[01:41.91]
[01:47.88]Now we sat there for an hour or two
[01:50.76]Just a-eatin’ that Gospel pie
[01:53.68]When around the bend come a terrible wind
[01:56.24]And lightning lit the sky
[01:58.98]He said, “So long son, I gotta run
[02:01.62]I appreciate you listening to me”
[02:04.25]And I believe I heard him sing these words
[02:06.96]As he skipped out across the sea
[02:09.61]”Everybody needs somebody
[02:12.76]That they can talk to
[02:15.05]Someone to open up their ears
[02:17.83]And let that trouble through
[02:20.28]Now you don’t have to sympathize
[02:23.24]Or care what they may do
[02:25.79]But everybody needs somebody that they can talk to
[02:31.43]Everybody needs somebody that they can talk to”
