"Soul Of A Man" lyrics

"Soul Of A Man"

Won't somebody tell me?
Won't somebody tell me?
Won't somebody tell me?
Won't somebody tell me?

I'm going to ask the question
Please answer if you can
Is there anybody's children can tell me
Tell me what is the soul of a man?

Won't somebody tell me?
Answer if you can, Lord
Won't somebody tell me
Tell me, what is the soul of a man?

Well, I've travelled different countries
I've travelled to the furthest lands
Couldn't find nobody could tell me
Tell me, what is the soul of a man?

Won't somebody tell me?
Answer if you can, Lord
Won't somebody tell me
Tell me, what is the soul of a man?

I saw a crowd stand talking
I just came up in time
Was teaching the lawyers and the doctors
That a man ain't nothing but his mind

Won't somebody tell me?
Answer if you can, Lord
Won't somebody tell me
Tell me, what is the soul of a man?

Well, I read the Bible often
I try to read it right
As far as I can understand
It ain't nothing but a burning light

Won't somebody tell me?
Well answer if you can, Lord
Won't somebody tell me
Tell me, what is the soul of a man?

When Christ, he taught in the temple
The people all stood amazed
Was teaching the lawyers and the doctors
How to raise a man from the grave

Won't somebody tell me?
Answer if you can, Lord
Won't somebody tell me
Tell me, what is the soul of a man?

Won't somebody tell me?
Answer if you can, Lord
Won't somebody tell me
Tell me, what is the soul of a man?

What is the soul of a man?
What is the soul of a man?
