The Music Of My Soul
When I was a young boy My daddy sat me down He said, 'Son, don't you never go To the dark side of town'
I'm talkin' downtown Memphis See that's where the black folk play And I said, 'Yes, sir, daddy' And then I snuck down anyway
See, never was taught to read none And, no, never taught to write The only thing my daddy taught Was a white should stay with white
But I heard it through the alleys It floated on the breeze And burst out through the doorways And it knocked me to my knees
It broke down all my senses Yet made me feel so whole See I was lost until I found The music of my soul The music of my soul
Then one day my Daddy died And we laid him in his grave And my mamma, she cried and cried and cried Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And prayed that he'd be saved
But all I felt was pity For he never understood How could people be so bad That made me feel so good?
It whipped right through my body It grabbed me by my heart It shot up from my fingertips And tore me right apart
It broke down all my senses Yet made me feel so whole And I will love it till the day I die The music of my soul
It broke down all my senses Yet made me feel so whole See I was lost until I found I was deaf until I heard The music of my soul
I'll make this world come around to The music of my soul The music of my soul
