St. Louis Blues Lyrics

St. Louis Blues - Mildred Bailey/Red Norvo and His Orchestra

Written by:W.C. Handy

I hate to see that evening sun go down

That I hate to see that evening sun go down

Cause the man I love gone left this town

If I'm feelin' tomorrow just like I feel today

That I'm feelin' tomorrow just like I feel today

I'm gonna pack my back make my get a way

St Louis woman without her diamond ring

I should pull that man around by her apron strings

Twarn't for powder and for store bought hair

That man I love would've gone nowhere

Got the St Louis blues

Alone and just blues as I can be

My man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea

Or else he wouldn't gone so far from me

I love my man like a school boy loves his pie

I love my man like a school boy loves his pie

I love that sweet man till the day I die

It rain at sky make put man leave the town

It rain in the sky that make put man leave the town

But little short that pretty mama

Make the babies glad happy down

I said little short that pretty mama

 

Make the babies glad happy down
