Soul Of A Man Songtext / Lyric

Well I want somebody to tell me

Answer if you can!

Well I want somebody to tell me,

Just what is the soul of a man

I'm going to ask the question

Answer if you can

Can anybody out there can tell me

Just what is the soul of a man



I traveled to different countries

I traveled to foreign lands

I've found nobody to tell me

Just what is the soul of a man



Well I want somebody to tell me

Answer if you can

I want somebody to tell me

Just what is the soul of a man






I saw a crowd stand talking

I came up right on time

I heard the doctor and the lawyer

Say a man ain't nothing but his mind



I want somebody to tell me

Answer if you can

I want somebody to tell me

Just what is the soul of a man

What is the soul of a man



I read the bible often

I try to read it right

As far as I can understand

It's nothing but a burning light



Well I want somebody to tell me

Answer if you can

I want somebody to tell me

Just what is the soul of a man



I want somebody to tell me

Answer if you can

I want somebody to tell me

Just what is the soul of a man



I'm going to ask the question

Answer if you can

Can anybody out there can tell me

Just what is the soul of a man

What is the soul of a man



(Blind Willie Johnson)
