Hey hey

Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Come rock-a-my
Oh Lord come rock-a-my soul
Rock me in the cradle, Daddy don't let go
Rock me in your arms and hold my hand
Take me for a walk to the promise land
Oh Lord come-a-rock-a-my soul

If they take my life with the risin' sun
I'm gonna go down standin' up
Singin' Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord
From the linen white to the cold black dirt
From Mama's arms to Mama earth
Singin' Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord
Come-a-rock-a-my soul

(interlude)

(Come-a-rock-a-my soul)
Oh Lord, come rock-a-my soul
Rock me in the cradle, Daddy don't let go
Rock me in your arms and hold my hand
Take me for a walk to the promise land
Oh Lord come-a-rock-a-my soul

I want peace in the valley, oh Lord
Sweet Jesus, heal this savage land
I want peace (you can take my life) in the valley, oh Lord
Sweet Jesus, (take my life) heal this savage land
(You can take my life, take my life, I'm-a-gonna go down standin' up)
Sweet Jesus, heal this savage land
I want peace...

(Singin' Lord, Lord)
Oh Lord, come rock-a-my soul
(Lord, Lord, Lord)
Rock me in the cradle, Daddy don't let go
(Oh Lord, Lord)
Rock me in your arms and hold my hand
(Lord, Lord, Lord)
Take me for a walk to the promise land

If they take my life with the risin' sun
I'm gonna go down standin' up
Singin' Lord, Lord (Jesus)
Lord, Lord, Lord (Sweet Jesus)
Sing Lord, Lord
I'm gonna go down standin' up (Heal this savage land)
Hey, yeah

Dear Lord, dear Lord, dear Lord and Father (Heal this savage land)
Dear Lord and Father of mankind forgive our foolish...
