Jazzman

[Intro]

Lift me, won't you lift me

Above the old routine?

Make it nice, play it clean, jazzman

[Verse 1]

When the jazzman's testifyin'

A faithless man believes

He can sing you into paradise

Or bring you to your knees

It's a gospel kind of feelin'

A touch of Georgia slide

A song of pure revival

And a style that's sanctified

[Chorus]

Jazzman, take my blues away

Make my pain the same as yours

With every change you play

Jazzman, oh jazzman

[Verse 2]

When the jazzman's signifyin'

And the band is windin' low

It's the late night side of mornin'

In the darkness of his soul

He can fill a room with sadness

As he fills his horn with tears

He can cry like a fallen angel

When risin' time is near

[Chorus]

Jazzman, take my blues away

Make my pain the same as yours

With every change you play

[Outro]

Oh lift me, won't you lift me

With every turnaround?

Play it sweetly, take me down, oh jazzman
