Lyrics North Mississippi Allstars

North Mississippi Allstars

Soldier

Sitting on the roof, no help has come

Floods overflowing

High water everywhere, we lost our homes

Floods overflowing

My cup is empty and my mouth is dry

Old hand at beating down from up on high

Do you think you make a soldier

A soldier of the cross?

Do you think you make a soldier

In the army of the Lord?

The levee blew out into the city

Hell's overflowing

The devil running loose, oh, Lord have mercy

Hell's overflowing

God gave Noah that rainbow sign

It won't be water but fire next time

Do you think you make a soldier

A soldier of the cross?

Do you think you make a soldier

In the army of the Lord?

Up all night praying to the moon

Clouds overblowing

If I ever sleep again it will be no time soon

Tomorrow's never coming

My cup is empty and my mouth is dry

That old dirty water on the rise

Do you think you make a soldier

A soldier of the cross?

Do you think you make a soldier

In the army of the Lord?
