BESSIE’S
BLUESLyrics by Joan Cartwright To music by John Coltrane
Jazz and blues
It’s the news
Entertainment sets the views
Players play
On the horn
When the jazz and blues are born
Listen to the voice of Bessie’s Blues
All night long
Swinging strong
Ellington and Strayhorn
Tunes and tones
Cool your bones
Drumming on the microphone
Listen to the voice of Bessie’s Blues
