Soul of a Man

Won't somebody tell me

Answer if you can

Won't somebody tell me

Tell me what is the soul of a man?I'm going to ask the question

Please answer if you can

Is there anybody's children can tell me

What is the soul of a man?

Won't somebody tell me

Answer if you can

Won't somebody tell me

Tell me what is the soul of a man?I've travelled different countries

Travelled to the furthest lands

Couldn't find nobody could tell me

What is the soul of a manWon't somebody tell me

Answer if you can

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 mindWon't somebody tell me

Answer if you can

Won't somebody tell me

Tell me 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 lightWon't somebody tell me

Answer if you can

Won't somebody tell me

Tell me what is the soul of a man?When Christ taught in the temple

The people all stood amazed

Was teaching the lawyers and the doctors

How to raise a man from the graveWon't somebody tell me

Answer if you can

Won't somebody tell me

Tell me what is the soul of a man?
