God Rest His Soul

A man lay dying in the streets

A thousand people fell down on their knees

Any other day, he would have been

Preaching

Reaching all the people there

Oh Lord, Lord

But Lord knows I can't change what I saw

I say, God rest his soul

The Memphis battleground was red

'Cause blood came pouring from his head

Women and children fallin' down

Crying

For the man they loved so well

Lord, Lord, Lord

But Lord knows I can't change what I saw

I say, God rest his soul

Alright, break here

Lord knows I can't change what I saw

I say, God rest his soul

The morning sun will rise again

With all their patience growing thin

What're we gonna do when war has come and we're

Dying

Dying for the cause, I know

Yeah, but

Lord knows I can't change what I saw

I say, God rest his soul
