St. Louis Blues

St. Louis Blues - Eartha Kitt

I hate to see that evening sun go down

I hate to see that evening sun go down

Cause my baby he's gone left this town

Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today

If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today

I'm gonna pack my truck and make my give a way

St. Louis woman with her diamond ring

Pulls that man around by her aprin strings

Weren't for powder and his store-bought hair

The man I love wouldn't go 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 that man like a school boy loves his pie

Like a kentucky colonel loves his mint and rye

I love my baby

I love my baby till the day I die

Till the day I die
