Allman Brothers Band - God Rest His Soul lyrics

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 Oh Lord, Lord But Lord knows I can't change what I saw I say God rest his soul (I break here) But Lord knows I can't change what I saw I say God rest his soul The morning sun will rise again With all the pa**ions growing thin What we gonna do when war is come and we're Dying Dying for the cause I know (Yeah but) But Lord knows I can't change what I saw Say God rest his soul
