paroles de chanson St. Louis Blues - Pearl Bailey

I hate
I hate to see the sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
'Cause the man I love, he done left the town

But if I feel
If I feel tomorrow like I feel today
If I feel tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my trunk and make my getaway

I'm St. Louis woman got on diamond rings
Got my heart around, all around my apron strings
Well, if it wasn't for powder and the store-bought hair
That man of mine, nowhere, nowhere

Blues, blue as I can be
Heart like a rock in that deep blue sea
I know my man is still in love with me

I love him, like a school boy loves his pie
Like an ol' Kentucky Colonel loves his little rock and rye
Love him 'til the day I die

I need lovin', I need lovin' bad
Oh, I need lovin', I need lovin' bad
The last he gave me was so short
Made me mad but he made me give it up
He made me give it up

Oh, we rock, we rock by the clock
And after the clock stopped, kept on rockin'
I may look stiff but baby I'm not so old
I may look stiff but brother I'm not so old

Had ol' daddy last night sing salvation to my soul
He said, "Give it up"
"Hand it here"
So I told him to get it and kinda
Get with it, get in the house, get it
And he forgot it

But I made him remember and you never seen a man remember so much
Made think it's well, maybe it wasn't
Couldn't be but-, so well I told him, "Bye-bye, bye-bye"
I'm going way back home
Way back home
Goodbye St. Louis, goodbye
