Lyrics

Won't somebody tell me, answer if you can! Want somebody to tell me, what is the soul of a man I'm goin' 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 in foreign lands I've found nobody to tell me, what about the soul of a man I saw a crowd stand talkin', I came up right on time We're hearin' the lawyer and the Doctor, say a man ain't nothin' but his mind I want somebody to tell me, answer if you can! Want somebody to tell me, what is the soul of a man I read the bible often, I tried to read it right As far as I can understand, there ain't nothin' but a barrin' lie I want somebody to tell me, answer if you can! I want somebody to tell me, what is the soul of a man 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 Won't somebody tell me, answer if you can! Want somebody to tell me, what is the soul of a man Won't somebody tell me, answer if you can! I want somebody to tell me, tell me what is the soul of a man
