St. Louis Blues

St. Louis Blues - Maxine Sullivan

I hate to see the evening sun go down

I hate to see the evening sun go down

'Cause my baby, he's done left this town

Feelin' tomorrow just like I feel today

Feelin' tomorrow just like I feel today

I gonna pack my trunk and make my getaway

St. Louis woman with her diamond rings

Pulls my man around by her apron strings

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

The man I love, wouldn't go nowhere nowhere

Got the St. Louis blues 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 till the day I die
