St. Louis Blues

St. Louis Blues - Mildred Bailey

I hate to see the evening sun go down

I hate to see the evening sun go down

'Cause the man I love has left this town

If I'm feeling tomorrow just like I feel today

If I'm feeling tomorrow just like I feel today

I'm gonna pack my bags and make a getaway

St Louis woman without her diamond ring

I should pulls the man around by her apron strings

Weren't for powder and his store-bought hair

The man I love wouldn't go nowhere

Nowhere got the St Louis blues just as blue as I can be

But 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 school boy loves his pie

I love my man like a school boy loves his pie

And I love my sweet man till the day I die

A red-headed woman make a good man leave this town

A red-headed woman make a good man leave this town

But a red-headed Mama make a baby slap his pappy down

Make a baby slap his pappy down
