Terri Hendrix - What Is The Color Of The Soul lyrics

Tell me, tell me if you can What is the color of the soul of a man? Black or yellow, white or tan What is the color of the soul of a 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 askin' till I die Tell me, tell me if you can What is the color of the soul of a man? Black or yellow, white or tan What is the color of the soul of a man? A blue man sat in a green man's pew The green man said, "You, rascal, you" They beat each other on the head They fought each other till the smart man said Tell me, tell me if you can What is the color of the soul of a man? Black or yellow, white or tan What is the color of the soul of a man? I know some people who are chicken-fried Something crawled up in their hearts and died All that's left in them are sticks and stones And their words can chew you to the bone Tell me, tell me if you can What is the color of the soul of a man? Black or yellow, white or tan What is the color of the soul of a man? A red man married a snow white maid And all their kids are a copper shade You know it puzzles me both day and night Will their children's souls be red or white? Tell me, tell me if you can What is the color of the soul of a man? Black or yellow, white or tan What is the color of the soul of a man? Tell me, tell me if you can What is the color of the soul of a man? Black or yellow, white or tan What is the color of the soul of a man? Tell me, tell me if you can What is the color of the soul of a man? Black or yellow, white or tan What is the color of the soul of a man?
