Faubush Hill Sweet Soul Provider lyrics

(*Kevin Dalton)


She’s the one that saved me, waking every morning to biscuit ‘n gravy*
Heaven bless grand mammas soul
Sweet soul provider, sittin on the porch sippin apple cider
She’d say; ‘leave the dishes when you go’
World ain’t changed her at all.

Sherriff brought the banker, out to see mama bout her 40 acres
Said ‘it’s time for you to go’
Staring out the screen door, watchin mama load up our old ford
She said, ‘honey child, come on lets go’
World ain’t changed her at all

I still go the bible I stole that night at my revival. In some hotel on 35.
It didn’t have no swimming pool, no TV, nothing to do
And mamas sleepin with her wine
So I grabbed hold and called it mine, and read every single line


The next Sunday morning, the Ford broke down just south of Corbin
Grandpa came and took us home
Sweet soul provider, used to be a preacher before he retired
He said, girl you’ll always have a home
World ain’t changed him at all

Walkin thru this graveyard, I realize times were never really hard
We live, we love, we let it go
World ain’t changed me at all

I still go the bible I stole that night at my revival. In some hotel on 35.
It didn’t have no swimming pool, no TV, nothing to do
And mamas sleepin with her wine
So I grabbed hold and called it mine, and read every single line
