Artist/Band: Louis Armstrong
Lyrics for Song: St. Louis Blues
Lyrics for Album: Wild Man Blues [2011]



I hate's to see dat ev'nin' sun go down

Hate's to see dat ev'nin' sun go down

Cause ma baby, she done lef' dis town

If I feel tomorrow lak ah feel today

Feel tomorrow lak ah feel today

I'll pack up my trunk, and make ma git away



Saint Louis woman wid her diamon' rings

Pulls dat man 'roun' by her apron strings

'Twern't for powder an' her store-bought hair

De man she love wouldn't gone nowhere, nowhere



Got dem Saint Louis Blues I'm as blue as ah can be

Like a man done throwed that rock down into de sea

Got dem Saint Louis Blues I'm as blue as ah can be



Went to de gypsy get her fortune tole

To de gypsy, done got her fortune tole

Cause she most wile 'bout her Jelly Roll

Now dat gypsy tole her, "Don't you wear no black"

She done tole her, "Don't you wear no black

Go to Saint Louis, you can win him back"



If she git toCairo, make Saint Louis by herself

Git to Cairo, find her old friend Jeff

gwine to pin herself, right there, to his side If she flag his train, she sho' can ride



And she sang



Got dem Saint Louis Blues jes as blue as ah can be

Dat man got a heart lak a rock cast into de sea

Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me

Doggone it!

I loves day man lak a schoolboy loves his pie

Lak a Kentucky Col'nel loves his mint an' rye

I'll love ma baby till the day ah die



Now a black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the track

Said a black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the track

But a long tall gal makes a preacher ball the jack



Lawd, a blonde-headed woman make a good man leave the town

I said a blonde-headed woman make a good man leave the town

But a red-headed woman make a boy slap his pappy down
