God Rest His Soul Lyrics

A man lay dyin' in the streets,
A thousand people fell down on their knees,
Any other day he would've been preachin',
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 cryin',
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

Alright break here
(solo)

(1-2-3-4)
But 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 we gonna do when war has come and we're dyin',
Dyin' for the cause I know

(Yeah but)
But Lord knows I can't change what I saw,
I say God rest his soul
