Alison Krauss & Robert Plant Lyrics

"Somebody Was Watching Over Me"
(originally by Pops Staples)

I've been shot up and shook down
I've been turned away and turned around
Nobody to call my own
In this mean, old world alone
Many many months I cried
Somebody was on my side
Down in my soul I knew
Someway that I'd get through

Looking back, now I see
Somebody was watching over me

Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching

Well, I've been locked up and locked down
I've been used and abused
Didn't know if I was uptown or downtown
You know my life was so confused
Living in a state of depression
Something save me from my obsession
My strength was put to the test
My weakness put to rest
Looking back, now I see
Somebody was watching over

Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching over me
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching over me
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Now my bad times is better than the
Good times used to be
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching

Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching

There was a time when
Peace, I could not find
Nothing to call my own
No job, no car, no home
Staying in a one room shack
All I had was the clothes on my back
Each day my only plan
Had a bottle in my hand

Looking back, now I see
Somebody was watching over me

Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching over me
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching over me
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Now my bad times is better than the
Good times used to be
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching

Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
