about

The Soul of a Man

À partir des années 20, Blind Willie Johnson, privé d’yeux, arpente avec l’aide de son épouse les êtats du sud pour y prêcher la bonne parole. Mais avec sa voix rauque et sa guitare glissante, il donne parfois l’impression d’avoir hésité entre deux carrières, celle de Pasteur et celle de Bluesman. Insatisfait des réponses qu’il trouve dans la Bible, il s’interroge ici avec force digression sur la définition de l’âme. Mais c’est quoi au juste l’âme d’un homme ?

lyrics

I’m going to ask you a question,
Please answer if you can.
Is there anybody here that can tell me,
What is the soul of a man?

I’ve travelled in different countries,
I’ve travelled foreign lands,
I’ve found nobody to tell me,
What is the soul of a man.

Oh won’t somebody tell me,
Answer if you can!
Oh won’t somebody tell me,
Tell me what is the soul of a man?

I saw a crowd standing a’talking,
I just came up right on time.
We’re hearing the doctor and the lawyer,
Say a man ain’t nothing but his mind.

I read the bible often,
I tried to read it right.
As far as I can understand,
A man is more than his mind.

Oh won’t somebody tell me,
Answer if you can!
Oh won’t somebody tell me,
Tell me what is the soul of a man?
