St Louis Gal

St Louis Gal - Bessie Smith

Worried in the nighttime worried in the day

'Cause another sweetie took my man away

Down in St Louis there I lost my pride and joy

St Louis woman stole the heart of my big boy

I'm cryin'

St Louis gal just look what you done done

I said what you done done

St Louis gal you gonna have some fun

I mean a-lots of fun

I'm always cryin' the blues both night and day

Now daddy's gone but you will shake in your shoes

Hear what I say 'cause some fine mornin'

Without any warnin'

St Louis gal I'm gonna handle you

I say manhandle you

You'll find yourself in a jam

As sure as anything what am

Down in Missouri there'll come a time

Your life won't be worth a dime

You stole my pal St Louis gal

I'm going a-huntin' do do de do

You know just what I'm gonna do

You stole my pal St Louis gal
