Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ever feel just kinda down and out
And like you don't know just what to do?
Livin' all your days in darkness
Let the sunshine through
Ever feel that somehow, somewhere, you lost your way?
And if you don't get help quick you won't make it through the day
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Plastic people with plastic mind are on their way to plastic homes
No beginning there ain't no ending
Just on and on and on and on and on
It's all because they're so afraid to say they're alone
Until our hero rides in, rides in on his saxophone
[Verse 4]
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 away
They'll wash your troubles away
[Verse 5]
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 away
They'll wash your troubles away
[Verse 6]
Ever feel just kinda down and out
You don't know just what to do?
Livin' all your days in darkness
Let the sunshine through
Ever feel that somehow, somewhere, you lost your way?
And if you don't get help quick you won't make it through the day
[Verse 7]
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, you troubles
Your troubles, your troubles
Ow, your troubles, your troubles
They'll wash your troubles away
They'll wash your troubles away
They'll wash your troubles away
They'll wash your troubles away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
They'll wash your troubles away
They'll wash your troubles away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
They'll wash your troubles away
They'll wash your troubles away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 8]
You got your Lady Day
And your John Coltrane
You got your Lady Day
And your John Coltrane
They'll wash your troubles away
Your troubles, your troubles
Your troubles away
They'll wash your troubles away
Bye bye baby
