St. Louis Blues

St. Louis Blues - Eartha Kitt

I hate to see the evening sun go down

Hate to see the evening sun go down

Cause my baby he's done left this town

Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today

Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today

I gonna pack my trunk make my getaway

St louis woman with her diamond rings

Pulls my man around by her apron strings

Weren't for powder and her store-bought hair

The man I love wouldn't go nowhere

Got the st louis blues just as blue as I can be

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

Or else she 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
