Soul of a Man Songtext
von Ramblin’ Jack Elliott

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
