St. Louis Blues

Oh, I hate to see that evening sun go down

Yes, I hate to see that evening sun go down

Just because my baby, he has gone and left this town

If I'm feeling tomorrow just like I feel today

If I'm feeling feeling tomorrow just like a feel today

I'm gonna pack my trunk and make my getaway

St. Louis woman with all her diamond rings

Pulls that man around by her apron strings

If it wasn't for powder and for store bought hair

The man I love wouldn't have gone nowhere

Nowhere

Got the St. Louis blues, blue as I can be

Got the St. Louis blues, blue as I can be

My man got a heart like a rock cast in the deep blue sea

He may be your man but he comes up to see me sometime

Yes he may be your man but he comes up to see me sometime

Live six flights up and that man he sure love to climb

Wouldn't give a blind sparrow an acorn

Wouldn't give a crippled crab a crutch

Wouldn't give a blind sparrow an acorn

Wouldn't give a crippled crab a crutch

Ain't gonna give you nothing

'Cause you think you're such a much and much

Got the St. Louis, got the St. Louis

Got the blues, got the blues, got the blues, blue as I can be

Mississippi river long deep wide

I got to meet my sweet man on the other side

Take me back to St. Louis, back to St. Louis

Got the St. Louis Blues, just as blue as I can be
