St. Louis Blues

St. Louis Blues - Benny Carter/Billy Holyday

I hate to see that evening sun go down

I hate to see that evening sun go down

Cause my baby hes gone left this town

Fellin tomorrow like I feel today

If I'm feelin tomorrow like I feel today

Ill pack my truck and make my give-a-way

St louis woman with her diamond ring

Pulls that man around by her

If it wasnt for her and her

That man I love would have gone nowhere nowhere

I got the st louis blues

Blues as I can be

That mans got a heart like a rock cast in the sea

Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me

I love my baby like a school boy loves his pie

Like a kentucky colonel loves his mintn rye

I love my baby till the day I die
