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

Blood came pouring from his head

Women and children fallin' down

Crying

For the man they loved so well

Oh Lord, Lord

But Lord knows I can't change what I saw

I say God rest his soul

(I 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 the patience growing thin

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

Dying

Dying for the cause I know

(Yeah but)

Lord knows I can't change what I saw

Say God rest his soul
