St. Louis Blues Lyrics
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
If I 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
That man no man he wouldn't go nowhere nowhere
Got the St Louis blues blue as I can be
The 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 man untill the day I die
