Soul of a Man lyrics

91 Nothing But A Burning Light
Soul Of A Man (3:52)
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?

(CHORUS:)
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 man

(Chorus)

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 mind

(Chorus)

I read the Bible often
I try to read it right
As far as I can understand
It's nothing but a burning light

(Chorus)

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 grave

(Chorus)

("Soul of a Man" was learned from a 1930 recording by Blind Willie Johnson)

91 Nothing But A Burning Light
Soul Of A Man (3:52)
