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
|
