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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/carry-me-away-lyrics-the-doobie-brothers.html ] 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
