I know this forum is for song lyrics but I'm desperate. Can anyone tell me where I can find a soundtrack for "Old Roman Soldier" by Gene Watson? Thank you.

Hi Deacon Bill

This forum is for all things pertaining to Hymns, Gospel Songs, Cantatas etc
so you came to the right place

Here is a recording of Gene Watson's Old Roman Soldier

And here's one source to purchase the album containing the song

Thanks for the reply but I am looking for a soundtrack of the song; not the song itself. I've searched for it online but haven't found it.

Deacon Bill AKA Guest By habit, I posted the recording link for everyone to enjoy I assumed https://daywind.com/music/my-gospel-roots/ was the "soundtrack" you were looking for. Could you enlighten me as to the soundtrack you are referring to Thanks Nancy

Hi Another Guest Here are the lyrics you asked for Betrayed for thirty pieces of silver Abused by the people He loved Rejected by His own disciples I know He still loved them because Chorus Jesus said Father forgive them He was looking down on me I'm an old Roman soldier I stood at the foot of the tree In His eyes I saw His compassion On His cheeks the tracks of His tears On His back the stripes that He suffered In His side the wound from my spear Chorus I'm an old Roman soldier I stood at the foot of the tree <><><><> Here is a link to chords http://www.classic-country-song-lyrics. ... hords.html

Thanks, Nancy, but the Daywind link has Gene Watson's album containing this song but it is not a soundtrack. A soundtrack has the music but not the vocals unless there are some backup vocals. It's what people use to sing the song themselves, e.g., in church.

Ahhh The accompaniment track is what I know it as.
It's all a matter of semantics. Eh?
Looks like it's not readily available.
