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

I've not heard the original before, but this is a great blues tune Carlos.
Really nice vocals and slide work on the dobro.

Hey Carlos...never heard this tune before but I sure like your version of it. Nice work on the rez and the banjo in the mix. Your vox are excellent with good blues phrasing. I'll check out more of your work.
