LYRICS
Oh, my ma ma told me,
’cause she said she learned the hard way,
say she want to spare the chil dren.
She say don’t give or sell your soul a way.
’Cause (A)all that you have is your soul.
So don’t be tempt ed by the shin y ap ple.
Don’t you eat of a bit ter fruit.
Hun ger on ly for a taste of jus tice.
Hun ger on ly for a world of truth.
’Cause all that you have is your soul.
I was a pret ty young girl once.
I had dreams, I had high hopes.
(E)I mar ried a man he stole my heart a way.
(D)He gave his love but what a high price I paid.
And (A)all that you have is your soul.
So don’t be tempt ed by the shin y ap ple.
Don’t you eat of a bit ter fruit.
Hun ger on ly for a taste of jus tice.
Hun ger on ly for a world of truth.
’Cause all that you have is your soul.
I was a pret ty young girl once.
I had dreams, I had high hopes.
(E)I mar ried a man he stole my heart a way.
(D)He gave his love but what a high price I paid.
And (A)all that you have is your soul.
Why was I such a young fool?
Thought I’d make his t’ry.
Mak ing ba bies was the best I could do.
Thought I’d make some thing could be mine for ev er.
Found out the hard way one can’t pos sess an oth er.
And (A)all that you have is your soul.
So don’t be tempt ed by the shin y ap ple.
Don’t you eat of a bit ter fruit.
Hun ger on ly for a taste of jus tice.
Hun ger on ly for a world of truth.
’Cause all that you have is your soul.
I was a pret ty young girl once.
I had dreams, I had high hopes.
(E)I mar ried a man he stole my heart a way.
