St. Louis Blues

(W.C. Handy - Luther Henderson)



I hate to see that evenin' sun go down

I hate to see that evenin' sun go down

'Cause my baby she done left this town.



I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today

I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today

I'm gonna pack my grip and make my getaway.



St Louis woman with her diamond rings

Pull that man around (by the apron strings)

Twarnt for powder and for that store bought hair

Well, that gal I love she wouldn't have gone nowhere (nowhere.)



I got the St Louis Blues just blue as I can be

That gal got a heart like a rock cast in the sea

Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me.



Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me...
