The St. Louis Blues

St. Louis Blues - Lonnie Johnson

I hate to see de evenin' sun go down

Hate to see de evenin' sun go down

'Cause ma baby he done lef' dis town

Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today

Feel tomorrow like I feel today

I'll pack my trunk make ma git away

Saint Louis woman wid her diamon' rings

Pulls dat man 'roun' by her apron strings

'Twant for powder an' for store-bought hair

De man ah love would not gone nowhere nowhere

Got de Saint Louis Blues jes as blue as ah can be

That man got a heart lak a rock cast in the sea
