The Soul of a Man Lyrics


Won't somebody tell me, answer if you can! Want somebody tell me, what is The Soul Of A Man
I'm going to ask the question, answer if you can
If anybody here can tell me, what is The Soul Of A Man? I've traveled in different countries, I've traveled foreign lands
I've found nobody to tell me, what is The Soul Of A Man
I saw a crowd stand talking, I came up right on time
Were hearing the doctor and the lawyer, say a man ain't nothing but his mind
I read the bible often, I tries to read it right
As far as I can understand, a man is more than his mind
When Christ stood in the temple, the people stood amazed
Was showing the doctors and the lawyers, how to raise a body from the grave
Spoonful

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Blind Willie Johnson (Willie Johnson, Brenham, Texas, January 22, 1897 – Beaumont, Texas, September 18, 1945) was an American singer and guitarist whose music straddled the border between blues and spirituals. While the lyrics of all of his songs were religious, his music drew from both sacred and blues traditions. Among musicians, he is considered one of the greatest slide or bottleneck guitarists, as well as one of the most revered figures of depression-era gospel music.
