I have a version of Joe Turner Blues in my CD collection in my music classroom. In this version of the song, Joe Turner comes to town with 40 links of chain and takes her man away. Does Joe Turner represent "the law"? I was online trying to find the answer to this very question. Anyone?

Who is Joe Turner?

He is a man that kid napped slaves that were freed.Then he'd force them into labor in his chain gang for many years.Turner is supposed to represent a white racist man from the evil of the south. Like in the song Joe Turner's Come and Gone (a classic jazz song by August Wilson) * the first and 2nd lines are one long line of bars with words and music.They are always the same * then a 3rd line of 4-bars to rhyme with the first and second lines the song goes like this: # They tell me Joe Turner's come and gone(repeat) 3. He left me here to sing this song # He came here with forty links of chain(repeat) 3. He left me here to sing this song # Joe Turner, he took my man away(repeat) 3. He left me here to sing this song
