Streets of Soweto Lyrics by The Soil

Nostalgic Moments

2014

[Chorus]
Walking down the road
Down the road of Soweto
Walking down the road
Down the road of Soweto
Walking down the road
Down the road of Soweto
Walking down the road
Down the road of Soweto
[Verse 1]
I met a lady in black
Everything stopped for a sec
I could not speak I was blank
Thanks to the lady in black
Allow me to walk you as we chat
Maybe grab a snack
Later scratch your back
Not a lady in black
I met a lady in black
Everything stopped for a sec
I could not speak I was blank
Thanks to the lady in black
Allow me to walk you as we chat
Maybe grab a snack
Later scratch your back
Not a lady in black
I met a lady in black
She was wearing all black
She looked as if she was sad
But no wait , she was glad
I ran to her, and never looked back
Holding hands as we danced
She looked at me and she said
My my my
And she said
I love you my man in black
My man in black
[Chorus]
Walking down the road
Down the road of Soweto
Walking down the road
Down the road of Soweto
[Verse 2]
I met a lady in black
Everything stopped for a sec
I could not speak I was blank
Thanks to the lady in black
Allow me to walk you as we chat
Maybe grab a snack
Later scratch your back
Not a lady in black
Excuse me, my baby
I can see you’re from heaven
And I, kinda knew I’d meet you here around seven
I’d like to know you better
Cook dinner for you later
Burn out the midnight oil while listening to The Soil
My shooby dooby
Can we be what we should be
My shooby dooby
Lovers that’s what we should be
My shooby dooby
After the dinner could we pillow fight
Turn off the light and hold each other tight
[Chorus]
Walking down the road
Down the road of Soweto
Walking down the road
Down the road of Soweto
[Verse 3]
I met a lady in black
Everything stopped for a sec
I could not speak I was blank
Thanks to the lady in black
Allow me to walk you as we chat
Maybe grab a snack
Later scratch your back
Not a lady in black
