美國創作天后〔卡洛.金〕──美國榜亞軍──輕爵士流行經典──輕鬆搖曳的〔Jazzman〕
Lift me, wont you lift me above the old routine;
Make it nice, play it clean jazzman.
When the jazzmans testifyin a faithless man believes
He can sing you into paradise or bring you to your knees.
Its a gospel kind of feelin, a touch of Georgia slide,
A song of pure revival and a style thats sanctified.
Jazzman take my blues away;
Make my pain the same as yours with every change you play.
Jazzman, oh jazzman.
When the jazzmans signifyin, and the band is windin low.
Its the late night side of morning 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.
Jazzman take my blues away;
Make my pain the same as yours with every change you play.
Oh lift me, wont you lift me with evry turn around;
Play it sweetly, take me down, oh jazzman.
