Bessie Smith & Louis Armstrong St. Louis Blues (1925) Lyrics

I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
'Cause, my baby, he's gone left this town

Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my trunk and make ma gitaway

St. Louis woman with her diamond ring
Pulls dat man 'roun' by her apron strings
'Twern't for powder an' her store-bought hair
De man she love wouldn't gone nowhere, nowhere

I got dem St. Louis Blues I'm as blue as I can be
He's got a heart that's like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me

I love my baby like a school boy loves his pie
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his mint'n rye
I love my man till the day I die
