Lady Day and John Coltrane Songtext
von Courtney Pine

Ever feel kind of down and out
You don′t know just what to do?
Living all of your days in darkness
Let the sun shine through
Ever feel that somehow, somewhere
You lost your way?
If you don't get a help quick
You won′t make it through the day?

Could you call on Lady Day?
Could you call on John Coltrane?
Now, 'cause they'll, they′ll wash your troubles
Your troubles, your troubles, your troubles away!

Plastic people with plastic minds
On their way to plastic homes
No beginning, there ain′t no ending
Just on and on and on
All because they're so afraid to say that they′re alone
Until our hero rides in on his saxophone


Could (you) call on Lady Day?
Could you call on John Coltrane?
Now, 'cause they′ll, they'll wash your troubles
Your troubles, your troubles, your troubles away!

(It will be alright, baby)
(It will be alright, baby)

Ever feel kind of down and out
You don′t know just what to do?
Living all of your days in darkness
Let the sun shine through
Ever feel that somehow, somewhere
You lost your way?
If you don't get a help quick
You won't make it through the day?

Could you call on Lady Day?
Could you call on John Coltrane?
Now, ′cause they′ll, they'll wash your troubles
Your troubles, your troubles, your troubles
Your troubles, your troubles, away


(It will be alright, baby)
It will be alright, babe
It will be alright, baby (It will be alright, baby)
It will be alright, baby
(It will be alright, baby)
Call on Lady Coltrane, babe
(It will be alright, baby)
Call on Lady... yeah, yeah
