Soul Of a Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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)
