Lift me, won't you lift me
When the jazz man was testifying
A faithless man in belief
He could sing you into paradise
It's a gospel kind of feeling,
a touch of George's style
in a style that's sanctified
Jazz band, take my blues away
They find pain the same as yours
With every change you play
When the jazz band is a -signifying
And the band is winding low
It's the late night side of morning time
In the darkness of the soul
as he fills his horns with tears
He can cry like a fallen angel,
Jazzman, take my blues away
Take my pain and sing it's yours
With every change you play
Lift me, won't you lift me
With every turn around, play it sweetly, take me down,
every time you play, play on
Just dance, take my pain, take my pain
Just dance, take my pain,
