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! |
