St Louis Blues - Josh White

I hate to see that evenin' sun go down

Phil, I hate to see that evenin' sun go down

'Cause my baby, she’s left this town

If I’m feelin' tomorrow like I feel today

Feelin' tomorrow just like I feel today

I’ll pack my truck, I’ll make my get away

Woman with her diamond ring

around by her apron strings

Wants some powder and that store bought hair

Girl I love would not have gone nowhere, nowhere

I've got the St. Louis blues, blues, blues as I can be My girl's got a heart like a rock in the deep blue sea, watch it Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me What makes my grandfather love

my grand mama so?

Tell me What makes my grandfather love my grand mama so?

Got the same old thing that he’s had forty years ago

I got the St. Louis blues, blue as I can be My girl’s got a heart like a rock in the deep blue sea

Or else she wouldn’t have gone so far from me Give it to me

I’ve got the St. Louis blues, blue as I can be My girl’s got a heart like a rock in the deep blue sea

Or else she wouldn’t have gone so far from me

I’ve got the St. Louis blues, I’ve got the St. Louis blues

I’ve got the St. Louis blues, I’ve got the St. Louis blues

Blue as I can be
