Lyrics for Song: Rock My Soul
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Louis Armstrong
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

Rock My Soul
Rock My Soul stands as a testament to Louis Armstrong's enduring mastery of the blues and gospel traditions. The legendary trumpeter and vocalist, often cited as the first true jazz superstar, infused this recording with the same emotional depth and rhythmic swing that defined his extensive discography. While Armstrong is frequently celebrated for his later ballads, this track highlights his powerful connection to spiritual and blues roots, showcasing his ability to convey profound feeling through a single, resonant voice. The song reflects the broader scope of his work, moving beyond novelty numbers to explore the soulful core of American music. It remains a significant piece within his vast catalogue, demonstrating how his unique phrasing and instrumental prowess could elevate standard material into something timeless and deeply moving for listeners across generations. |
