Wat verbindt Elvis Presley, Louis Armstrong en Peter, Paul & Mary met elkaar? Dit lied voor Allerzielen. Ieder zijn of haar eigen tekst…
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
