St. Louis Blues Lyrics
St. Louis Blues - Bessie Smith
I hate to see de evenin' sun go down
Hate to see de evenin' sun go down
'Cause ma baby he done lef' dis town
Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
Feel tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my trunk make ma git away
Saint Louis woman wid her diamon' rings
Pulls dat man 'roun' by her apron strings
'Twant for powder an' for store-bought hair
De man ah love would not gone nowhere nowhere
Got de Saint Louis Blues jes as blue as ah can be
That man got a heart lak a rock cast in the sea
