Jazz (Ain't Nothin' But Soul) Lyrics

Jazz (Ain't Nothin' But Soul) - Betty Carter/Richard Wes and His Orchestra

Written by:Norman Mapp

Jazz is makin' do with 'taters and grits

Standin' up each time you get hit

Jazz ain't nothin' but soul

Jazz is livin' high off nickels and dimes

Telling folks 'bout what's on your mind

Jazz ain't nothin' but soul

Trumpets cussin saxophones

Rhythm makin' love

People wearin' fancy clothes

It's the voice of my people

For me jazz is all the truth to be found

Never mind who's puttin' it down

Jazz ain't nothin' but soul

Jazz ain't nothin' but soul

Jazz ain't nothin' but soul

Trumpets cussin saxophones

Rhythm makin' love

People wearin' fancy clothes

It's the voice of my people

For me jazz is all the truth to be found

Never mind who's puttin' it down

 

Jazz ain't nothin' but soul
