St. Louis Blues

I hate to see the evening sun go down

Said I hate to see the evening sun go down

'Cause the man I love done left this town

If I'm feeling tomorrow just like I feel today

Said if I'm feeling tomorrow just like I feel today

I'm gonna pack my bags and make my getaway

St. Louis woman with all her diamond rings

Ah, she pulls that man around by her apron strings

If it wasn't for powder and for store-bought hair

The man I love wouldn't gone nowhere, nowhere

Got the St. Louis Blues, Lord, I'm just as blue as I can be

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

Or else he wouldn't gone so far from me

I love my man like a schoolboy loves his pie

Said I love my man like a schoolboy loves his pie

And I'll love that sweet man until the day I die

Said a red-headed gal would make a good man leave this town

A red-headed gal would make a good man leave this town

But a little short fat squatty mama make a baby slap his pappy down

Dee dee dee dee dee dee

Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee

Honey honey

Honey honey

Make a baby slap his pappy down
