            I'm a capturer, soul adventurer

            See the morning sun (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) on the hillside (ooh)
            Not living good, yeah! - travel wide,
            Said, I'm a living man (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah); I've got work to do (ooh)
            If you're not happy, children, then you must be blue
               (must be blue, must be blue) people say:

            People say:
            I'm a rebel, let them talk;
            Soul rebel: talk won't bother me.
            I'm a capturer, that's what they say;
            (Soul adventurer) Night and day
            (I'm a rebel) I'm a rebel: soul rebel!
            Do you hear them, Lippy?
            (I'm a capturer) Gossip around the corner;
            (Soul adventurer) How they adventure on me, y'all.

            But see the morning sun (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) on the hill side (ooh);
            Not living good, travel wide,
            Said, I'm a living man (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah);
            I've got work to do
               (ooh-ooh; must be blue, must be blue, must be blue).
            If you're not happy,
            You must be blue.

            I'm a rebel (ooh-ooh):
            Soul rebel;
            I'm a capturer (ooh-ooh):
            soul adventurer.  Do you hear me?
            I'm a rebel, rebel in the morning;
            (soul rebel) rebel at midday time
