Black clouds blowing 'cross the blustery sky Black clouds blowing 'cross the blustery sky South of Highway 7, all alone and crying Oh soul, I sold you away
When you sell your soul, it opens a deep dark hole When you sell your soul, it opens a deep dark hole Drink will leave you thirsty, fire'll leave you cold, oh soul Oh soul, I sold you away
Oh my soul, I sold you away Oh my soul, I sold you away Oh my soul, I sold you away Oh my soul, I sold you away
It started with desire's sweet soft kiss It started with desire's sweet soft kiss It ended in an alley with my face against a fist Oh soul, I sold you away
Oh my soul, I sold you away Oh my soul, I sold you away Oh my soul, I sold you away Oh my soul, I sold you away
Redemption, redemption, have mercy on me Redemption, redemption, have mercy on me A body's but a prison, when the soul's a refugee Oh soul, I sold you away
I'm pulling into Greenwood to get down on my knees I'm pulling into Greenwood to get down on my knees By Robert Johnson's grave, pray my soul back to me Oh soul, I sold you away
Oh my soul, I sold you away Oh my soul, I sold you away Oh my soul, I sold you away Oh my soul, I sold you away.
