God Rest His Soul Lyrics - Allman Brothers Band

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 

Photos 

The morning sun will rise again 

With all the passions 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
