What Is the Color of the Soul of Man lyrics

Tell me, tell me if you can

What is the color of the soul of man?

Black or yellow, white or tan

What is the color of the soul of man?

My grandma said I was a silly goose

For asking questions when there ain't no use

I cannot tell you the reason why

But I'll keep asking till I die

Tell me, tell me if you can

What is the color of the soul of man?

Black or yellow, white or tan

What is the color of the soul of man?

A red man married a snow-white maid

And all our kids were a copper shade

It puzzles me both day and night

Will the children's souls be red or white?

Tell me, tell me if you can

What is the color of the soul of man?

Black or yellow, white or tan

What is the color of the soul of man?

Moses stood on Mount Sinai

He saw the spirits from on high

I looked and looked up in the skies

But I don't have those kind of eyes

Tell me, tell me if you can

What is the color of the soul of man?

Black or yellow, white or tan

What is the color of the soul of man?

I asked my daddy and my Uncle Dan

What is the color of the soul of man?

Tell me, tell me if you can

What is the color of the soul of man?

Soul of man
