Aretha Franklin - Soulville Lyrics






Soulville, Soulville

Come on and
Show me the way
To get to Soulville, baby
Show me the way to go home
(The way to go home)

Show me the way
To get to Soulville, baby
Oh, that's where I belong
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Show me the way
To get to Soulville, baby
Show me the way to go home
(The way to go home)

Show me the way
To get to Soulville, baby
Oh, that's where I belong

I'm gonna see some soul folks
Who know all the tricks
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah

I'm gonna eat soul food
Well, now, it'll make you limber
It'll make you quick, it'll make you twist
Over the candlestick
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Going to Soulville, honey
Show me the way to go home
(The way to go home)

Show me the way to
Get to Soulville, honey
Oh, that's where I belong

Come on and lead me
Right on down to Soulville
Right on down to Soulville
I wanna go down to Soulville
Right on down, yeah

Soul folks who
Know all the tricks
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah

I'm gonna eat soul food
Well, now, it'll make you limber, yes, it will
It'll make you quick, it'll make you monkey
Over the candlestick
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Ooh, Soulville, baby
Show me the way to go home
(The way to go home)
Lead me to Soulville, baby
Oh, that's where I belong

Come on and lead me
Right on down to Soulville
Right on down to Soulville

Take me, honey
Right on down to Soulville
I gotta make a phone call
Right on down to Soulville
Oh, lead me, right on down
Lead me right on down

Talking 'bout the candied sweets
Down in Soulville
I'm talking 'bout the black eyed peas
Down in Soulville, oh, yeah
Yes Sir, down in Soulville

Aretha Franklin Soulville Comments
  1. e.... ....

    Heard this on an Aretha Franklin retrospective on KCSM yesterday.

  2. l.... ....

    I still remember seeing a Clip of her on American Bandstand in 1962 (Her TV Debut) and she had Five Ladies swaying back and forth while another Five were Dancing. They had no idea that they were in the presence of a future legend. On UK Soaps her music has also been used. Respect on EastEnders and Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves as well as her Version of Night Time Is The Right Time on Emmerdale.

  3. M.... T....

    I just love this song. I know why Aretha is called  the "QUEEN OF SOUL". She definitely put "SOUL" into this Columbia Records Classic.

  4. c.... r....

    TAKE ME TO SOULVILLE....I'M WILLING TO GO!

  5. b.... ....

    I used to play this every time I cleaned the house  bopping along  with a wash rag and such

  6. S.... ....

    Talkin' bout the black eyed peas...
    Love this song!

  7. S.... T....

    The Original was Titus Turner, then Dinah then Aretha.

  8. d.... ....

    Dinah's original recording certainly has everything, to me it's sorta unbeatable, then again it's Aretha..and Aretha..and Aretha,,and maybe even more Aretha...it's a trick recording, she backs herself on vocals and it still sounds devine, who really cares who's best, just don't forget Dinah Washington in all the glitter. They're both incredible.

  9. d.... ....

    Dinah Washington originally (or?), but goodness, when Miss A hits anything, it gets another life, and in this one she even is her own choir! Real soul juice and power!! Oh boy!!

  10. M.... ....

    The bees knees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. T.... ....

    I love this song

  12. M.... ....

    Love this song! I saw a small clip of this song on a show about her, and I've been searching for it since. I wish I could find the clip of her lipsyncing the song. lol

    M.... ....

    Try and Aretha Franklin Documentary.  You see her Singing this I think on American Bandstand.  The White Girls who Danced and Clapped in front of her were blown away.

    M.... ....

    laminage but that documentary only shows 2 seconds of it

  13. D.... ....

  14. j.... ....

    coming more...

  15. o.... ....
