Lyrics

Why don't you rock my soul?
(In the bosom of Abraham)
Why don't you rock my soul?
(In the bosom of Abraham)
Why don't you rock my soul?
(In the bosom of Abraham)
Oh, rock my soul
I would not be a sinner
I'm tellin' you the reason why
I'm afraid my Lord might call me
Great God and I wouldn't be ready to die
Hmm, baby won't you rock my soul?
(In the bosom of Abraham)
Why don't you rock my soul?
(In the bosom of Abraham)
Why don't you rock my soul?
(In the bosom of Abraham)
Oh, rock my soul
I would not be a liar
I'm tellin' you the reason why
I'm afraid my Lord might call me
Great God and I wouldn't be ready to die
Hmm, baby won't you rock my soul?
(In the bosom of Abraham)
Why don't you rock my soul?
(In the bosom of Abraham)
Why don't you rock my soul?
(In the bosom of Abraham)
Oh, rock my soul
I would not be a back biter
I'm tellin' you the reason why
I'm afraid my Lord might call me
Great God and I wouldn't be ready to die
Hmm, baby won't rock my soul?
(In the bosom of Abraham)
Why don't you rock my soul?
(In the bosom of Abraham)
Why don't you rock my soul?
(In the bosom of Abraham)
Oh, rock my soul
Rock my soul, rock my soul
