Willy Mason

Sold My Soul

Well, do you say

Nobody hears me when I pray.

And if you say

I just don't care to live past what's today.

And if you say

Oh, brother last night I prayed

Your preacher isn't preaching at home.

And if you say

Nobody hears me when I cry.

And if you say

Well I just don't understand why.

And if you say

I just can't take it, I'm saying goodbye.

When you're walking

It's a heavy, heavy load.

To make the load lighter

Sing

Sold my soul

At the bottom of the hill.

The demons there

They shaved my hair

And made me take their pills.

My cold soul

Is at the bottom of the hill.

Oh I should have walked on by

Let her cry

And only drank my fill.

Some men they say

There is more to us than Is known.

Some ladies say

Well there's some things we're not shown.

All people say

You're stepping on our homes.

And your footprints

Endeavors, never told.

But still we'll sing.

Sold my soul

At the bottom of the hill.

The demons there

They shaved my hair

And made me take their pills.

My cold soul

Is at the bottom of the hill.

Oh I should have walked on by

Let her cry

And only drank my fill.
