—Virginia Stauffer & Bill Monroe
See that train come on around the bend
Carrying the one that I love
Her beautiful body is still here on Earth
But her soul has been called above
Refrain:
Body and soul, body and soul
That's how she loved me, with body and soul
Her beautiful hair was as pure as gold
Her eyes were blue as the sea
Her lips were the color of summer's red rose
And she promised she would always love me
Refrain
Tomorrow as the sun sinks low
The shadows will cover her face
Her last sun goes down as she's laid beneath the ground
And my teardrops are falling like rain
Refrain
Tag: That's how she loved me, with body and soul
