St. Louis Blues

Got the St. Louis blues, I'm just as blue as I can be
Well that man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn't go so far from me

I hate to see that evening sun go down
Yes I hate to see that old evening sun go down
Because my baby has done gone and left this town

Well if I feel tomorrow just like I feel today
Yes if I feel tomorrow oh like I feel today
I'm gonna pack my trunks and I'm gonna make my getaway

St. Louis woman with all those diamond rings
Well she pulls that man around by her apron strings
And if it wasn't for all that powder
And all that store bought hair, oh yeah
You know the man that I love would not have gone nowhere, nowhere

I got the St. Louis blues, I'm just as blue as I can be
Well that man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn't go so very far from me

Well I love that man like a schoolboy loves his pie
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his mintin' and rye
Well I'll love my baby until the day I die
Yes I'll love my baby until the day I die
