Carry Me Away Lyrics

There was a place in east st. louis

It was in nineteen fifty nine

When they played they filled the streets with music

That lonely blue note music

That takes your cares away, far away



They packed the place when the band was playin'

To get some joy from a smoke filled room

Through that door you could see the bodies swayin'

The blue note band was playin'

Some lonely blue note song, all night long



Oh, it carried me away, oh, carried me away

Oh, it carried me away, oh, carried me away

No place I'd rather stay



If you should ever make it to st. louis

On some hot and lonely night

If you listen you can hear that blue note music

They fill the streets with music

It carries you away, far away



Oh, it carried me away, oh, carried me away

Oh, it carried me away, oh, carried me away

No place I'd rather stay
