lyrics

St. Louis Blues
by W.C. Handy (1917)

I hate to see that evening sun go down
hate to see that evening sun go down
It makes me feel like
I'm on my last go round

If I'm feeling tomorrow like I feel today
feeling tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my trunk and make my getaway

St. Louis woman with a diamond ring
drags her man around by her apron string
t'were'nt for powder and store bought hair
That woman I'm loving would go nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

I've got the St. Louis Blues, I'm as blue as I can be
my baby took my heart and tossed it like a rock into the deep blue see
Sometimes I wonder how I let her make a fool of me

Well I love that woman like a schoolboy loves his pie
Like a Kentucky Colonel loves his mint and rye
I'm gonna keep loving her until the day I die
