Lady Day and John Coltrane - Gil Scott-Heron

Written by：Gil Scott-Heron

Ever feel kinda of down and out and don't know just what to do

Livin' all of days in darkness let the sun shine through

Ever fell that somehow somewhere you lost your way

And if you don't get help you won't make it through the day

You could call on Lady Day

You could call on John Coltrane

They'll wash your troubles your troubles your troubles your troubles away

Plastic people with plastic minds on their way to plastic homes

There's no beginning there ain't no ending

Just on and on and on and on and on

It's all because we're so afraid to say that we're alone

Until our hero rides in rides in on his saxophone

You could call on Lady Day

You could call on John Coltrane

They'll wash your troubles your troubles your troubles your troubles away

Ever feel kinda of down and out and don't know just what to do

Livin' all of days in darkness let the sun shine through

Ever fell that somehow somewhere you lost your way

And if you don't get help you won't make it through the day

You could call on Lady Day

You could call on John Coltrane

They'll wash your troubles your troubles

Your troubles your troubles your troubles your troubles

Your troubles your troubles your troubles your troubles away

They'll wash your troubles away

They'll wash your troubles away

Your troubles your troubles your troubles your troubles away

They'll wash your troubles away

They'll wash your troubles away
