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?

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

Black or yellow, white or tan

The green man said, "You, rascal, you"

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?

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?

And all their kids are a copper shade
You know it puzzles me both day and night

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?
