[Intro]
Here's the first number that I ever recorded, back in nineteen-and-thirty-five, back in Charlotte, North Carolina with my brother Charlie Monroe. And ack in the days, it was really mighty popular down through the Carolinas, What Would You Give in Exchange for Your Soul

[Verse 1]
Brother how far, from the savior today
Risking your soul, for the thing that he gave
Oh, if today, God should call you away
What would you give, in exchange for your soul

[Chorus]
What would you give, in exchange, what would you give, in exchange
What would you give in exchange for your soul
Oh, if today, God should call you away
What would you give in exchange for your soul

[Verse 2]
Mercy is calling, you want to give in
Must the dear saviour still tenderly plead
Risk not your soul, it is precious indeed
What would you give, in exchange for your soul

[Chorus]
What would you give, in exchange, what would you give, in exchange
What would you give in exchange for your soul
Oh, if today, God should call you away
What would you give in exchange for your, soul
[Verse 3]
More than all silver and gold of this earth
More than all jewels a spirit is worth
God, the creator, has given it birth
What would you give in exchange for your soul

[Chorus]
What would you give, in exchange, what would you give, in exchange
What would you give in exchange for your soul
Oh, if today, God should call you away
What would you give in exchange for your, soul
