When I was a young boy
My daddy sat me down
He said "son, dont you never go"
To the dark side of town
I'm talking downtown Memphis
See, thats where the black folk play"
And I said Yes sir daddy
And then I snuck down any-way
See never was taught to read none
No never taught to write
The only thing my daddy taught
Was white should stay with white
But I heard it through the alleys
It floated on the breeze
It burst out through the doorways
And it knocked me to my knees
It broke down all of my sen-ses
Yet make me feel so whole
See I was lost until I found
The music of my soul
The music of my soul
And then one day my daddy died
And we laid him in his grave
And my mama she cried and cried and cried
And prayed that hed be saved
But all I felt was pity
For he never understood
How could people be so bad
Who made me feel so good
It went 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 sen-ses
Yet made me feel so whole
And I will love it til 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
Ill make this world come around to
The music of my soul
The music of my________Soul
End with one last strum on C
