Oh my mama told me 
A                             E 
cause she learned the hard way 
E                               D 
say she wanna spare the children 
D 
she say don't give or sell your soul away 'cause 
A            E            A 
all that you have is your soul.

D 
  Don' be tempted by the shinny apple, 
A 
  don't you eat - of the bitter fruit. 
D 
  Hunger only for a taste of justice, 
A 
  hunger only for a word of truth, 'cause 
             E            A 
all that you have is your soul. 


D 
I was a pretty young girl once, 
A 
I had dreams, I had high hopes. 
E 
Married a man, he stole my heart away, 
D 
he gave his love but what a hig price I paid and 
A            E            A 
all that you have is your soul. 

Verse2: 
Why was I such a young fool 
Thought I'd make history 
Making babies was the best I could do 
Thought I'd make someting that could me mine forever 
Found out the hard way once can't possess another 
And all that you have is your soul 
Verse3: 
I thought, thought that I could find a way 
to beat the system 
to make a deal and have no debts to pay 
I'd take it all, I'd run away 
Me for myself fist class and first rate 
But all that you have is your soul. 
Verse4: 
Here I am waiting for a better day 
A second change 
A little luck to come my way 
A hope to dream , a hope that I can sleep again 
And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands 
'Cause all that you have is your soul. 

All that you have is your soul...
