Texty: Eric Burdon. 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 (yea)

I'm going to ask a question, answer if you can
Can somebody out there tell me, just what is the soul of a man?

(Ooo Lord)

I've traveled to different countries, I've traveled to foreign lands
I've found nobody 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 saw a crowd standin? talkin?, I came right up on time
I heard the doctor and the lawyer, say a man ain't nothin? 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, (mmm) I tried to read it right
As far as I can understand, it?s nothin? but a burnin? light

I want somebody to tell me, answer if you can (yea)

I want somebody to tell me, Lord, what is the soul of a man

I want somebody to tell me, (somebody tell me) answer if you can (yea)

I?m gonna ask a question, (yea) answer if you can
Can anybody out there tell me, (ahh) what is the soul of a man...

what is the soul of a man

Well it?s a journey, a journey throughout your life
When the Lord calls you, you known, you better get it right
Somebody once told me, that?s the river of life
The river that runs ?round my back door
Is the river that runs through your life, yea

I ask you the question, answer if you can
I want you to tell me, what is the soul of a man
What is the soul of a man, what is the soul of a man
What is the soul of a man?
