St. Louis Blues |
I hate to see that evening sun go down, |
I hate to see that evening sun go down, |
'Cause my lovin' baby done left this town. |
If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today, |
If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today, |
I’m gonna pack my trunk and make my getaway. |
Oh, that St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings, |
She pulls my man around by her apron strings. |
And if it wasn’t for powder and her store-bought hair, |
Oh, that man of mine wouldn’t go nowhere. |
I got those St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be, |
Oh, my man’s got a heart like a rock cast in the sea, |
Or else he wouldn’t have gone so far from me. |
I love my man like a schoolboy loves his pie, |
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his rocker and rye |
I’ll love my man until the day I die, Lord, Lord. |
I got the St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be, |
Lord, Lord! |
That man’s got a heart like a rock cast in the sea, |
Or else he wouldn’t have gone so far from me. |
I got those St. Louis blues, I got the blues, I got the |
Blues, I got the blues, |
My man’s got a heart like a rock cast in the sea, |
Or else he wouldn’t have gone so far from me, Lord, Lord! |
