lot of soul

i never was great at pickin' cotton

but lord i always carried all my rows

there were those who could pick it clean or better

but didn't i pick my cotton with a lot of soul. i'd go hmm with feeling

i'd go hmm with soul

i'd say hmm with meaning

yeah

i sang my songs of life with a lot of soul. i never was great at words so fancy

oh but my woman knew i loved her so

there were those who could give her more and better

but didn't i loved that woman with a lot of soul. i'd go hmm with feeling

i'd go hmm with soul

i'd go hmm with meaning

but lord

i love that woman with a lot of soul. when i leave this life i'll be forgotten

cause i never made big tracks upon its roads

things i've done will never last forever

but didn't i do it all with a lot of soul. i'd go hmm with feeling

i'd go hmm with soul.
