Memphis - The Music Of My Soul (finale) Lyrics |
Original Broadway production (2010) Memphis the musical - The Music Of My Soul (finale) Lyrics
"The Music Of My Soul" is a song from Memphis the musical performed by Huey, Felicia and Company.
HUEY When I was a young boy My daddy satme down He said “son, don’t you never go To the dark side of town I’m talking downtown Memphis See, that’s where the black folk play” And I said “Yes sir daddy” And then I snuck down anyway See never was taught to read none Oh no never taught to write The only thing my daddy taught Was white should stay with white But I heard it through the alleys It floated on the bees It burst out through the doorways And it knocked me through my knees It broke down all of my senses And made me feel so home See I was lost but now I found The music of my soul The music of my soul
And then one day my daddy died And we laid him in his grave And my mama she cried and cried and cried And prayed that he’d be saved But all I felt was pity For he never understood Well how could people be so bad And made me feel so good It went run through my body It drive me by my heart
FELICIA It shot out from my fingertips And pulled me right apart
BOTH It broke down all my senses It made me feel so home And I would love it til the day I died
CAST The music of my soul It broke down all my senses It made me so feel home See I was lost until I found I was deaf until I heard
HUEY I’ll make this world come around to
CAST The music of my soul The music of my soul
[Thanks to Shiela for lyrics]
