Soldier Lyrics


North Mississippi Allstars Soldier


Sittin' 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 (man) beat down from up on high
Do you think make a soldier, a soldier of the cross
Do you think make a soldier, in the army of the Lord

The levee blew out into the city
Hell's overflowing
The Devil's running loose oh Lord have mercy
Hell's overflowing

God gave Noah that rainbow sign
It won't be water, we fight next time
Do you think make a soldier, a soldier of the cross
Do you think make a soldier, in the army of the Lord

(Musical Break)

Up all night praying to the moon
Clouds over, blowing
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 make a soldier, a soldier of the cross
Do you think make a soldier, in the army of the Lord

(Musical Break)
