Radio Paradise (mobile)

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?

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

Won't somebody tell me
Answer if you can
Won't somebody tell me
Tell me what is the soul of a man?

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

Won't somebody tell me
Answer if you can
Won't somebody tell me
Tell me what is the soul of a man?

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

Won't somebody tell me
Answer if you can
Won't somebody tell me
Tell me what is the soul of a man?

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

Won't somebody tell me
Answer if you can
Won't somebody tell me
Tell me what is the soul of a man?

unclehud Feb 14, 2013 - 14:57	It's a good question, Mr. Cockburn. Have you found a answer? Or will my answer be different than yours? [ Reply ]

Just bumping her to the front of the line again. Love reading her posts. [ Reply ]

johnjconn Jul 09, 2012 - 17:16	What is the soul of a man? To take care of his woman, raise his children, laugh at danger and wash it down with a little wine [ Reply ]
macbags Mar 04, 2012 - 20:18	I think this makes me sick. That song was so good. [ Reply ]
cohifi Feb 02, 2012 - 03:41	This is one of those good tunes that make you wonder what in the hell is he singing about [ Reply ]
WonderLizard Dec 16, 2011 - 06:27	He was the first reason fans would scream "BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE" during concerts. [ Reply ]
drictor Nov 30, 2011 - 15:12	Saw him do this live this summer. I was backstage taking pixs (about 10 feet away) and got to listen to the sound board headphones. Awesome! [ Reply ]

Romulus Sep 28, 2011 - 07:11	Tell me, because it seems no one knows the answer to that question. [ Reply ]

I like the predominant right side drum rudiment throughout the song. Kinda achin' back to the days of pseudo stereo...or rather ultra separated stereo where things are panned WAY to one side or the other. It's not real common these days anymore...but I really like when artists use it for effect. Way to go Mr. Cockburn. [ Reply ]

Good cover on this classic. But if you REALLY want a chill up the spine, go hear the original. (not a comparison, I just can't forget Blind Willie J.) [ Reply ]
