St. Louis Blues (Part 1 & 2) |
| I hate’s to see dat ev’nin' sun go down |
| Hate’s to see dat ev’nin' sun go down |
| Cause ma baby, she done lef' dis town |
| If I feel tomorrow lak ah feel today |
| Feel tomorrow lak ah feel today |
| I’ll pack up my trunk, and make ma git away |
| Saint Louis woman wid her diamon' rings |
| Pulls dat man 'roun' by her apron strings |
| 'Twern't for powder an' her store-bought hair |
| De man she love wouldn’t gone nowhere, nowhere |
| Got dem Saint Louis Blues I’m as blue as ah can be |
| Like a man done throwed that rock down into de sea |
| Got dem Saint Louis Blues I’m as blue as ah can be |
| Went to de gypsy get her fortune tole |
| To de gypsy, done got her fortune tole |
| Cause she most wile 'bout her Jelly Roll |
| Now dat gypsy tole her, «Don't you wear no black» |
| She done tole her, «Don't you wear no black |
| Go to Saint Louis, you can win him back» |
| If she git toCairo, make Saint Louis by herself |
| Git to Cairo, find her old friend Jeff |
| Gwine to pin herself, right there, to his side If she flag his train, |
| she sho' can ride |
| And she sang |
| Got dem Saint Louis Blues jes as blue as ah can be |
| Dat man got a heart lak a rock cast into de sea |
| Or else he wouldn’t have gone so far from me |
| Doggone it! |
| I loves day man lak a schoolboy loves his pie |
| Lak a Kentucky Col’nel loves his mint an' rye |
| I’ll love ma baby till the day ah die |
| Now a black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the track |
| Said a black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the track |
| But a long tall gal makes a preacher ball the jack |
| Lawd, a blonde-headed woman make a good man leave the town |
| I said a blonde-headed woman make a good man leave the town |
| But a red-headed woman make a boy slap his pappy down |
