Harmonica intro<br />

<br />

Buster spoken:: <br />

'No, no, no, St. Louis Blues<br />

Go right into it, ev'rybody'<br />

One<br />

<br />

Unk bandmember:<br />

'What kind of beat?'<br />

<br />

Buster: Hm?<br />

'Swingin', swingin' baby, just swing it'<br />

<br />

Unk bandmember: 'Yas-sir'<br />

<br />

(Buster laughter)<br />

Let's see, on a C <br />

One, one, two, three, four<br />

<br />

(harmonica, guitar & instrumental) <br />

<br />

Well, I hate to see<br />

That ev'nin sun go down<br />

Oh, but I hate to see<br />

That lovely sun go down<br />

Well, it makes me to know<br />

'Morrow's my last go 'round<br />

<br />

Well, if I feelin' tomorrow<br />

Just like I feel, today<br />

If I'm feelin' tomorrow<br />

Just like I feel, today<br />

I'm gonna pack my trunk<br />

And make my get-a-way<br />

<br />

A St. Louie woman <br />

With all the diamond rings<br />

She drags the man around<br />

By her apron string<br />

<br />

If it wasn't for powder<br />

An that store bought hair<br />

An that gal a-mine<br />

She wouldn't be goin' nowhere<br />

No where!<br />

<br />

I got the St. Louie blues<br />

Blue as a man can be<br />

Yeah, that gal's got a heart<br />

Like a rock cast into the sea<br />

Well, if she didn't have <br />

She wouldn't have gone so far from me<br />

<br />

Look out, now!<br />

<br />

(harmonica, instrumental & chorus)<br />

<br />

Yeah! <br />

Woo!<br />

Ha!<br />

<br />

The Mississippi River<br />

Long, deep an wide<br />

I tried, but good God<br />

She's on the other side!<br />

<br />

Take me back, baby<br />

Take me back to St. Louie<br />

Well, I wanna go back<br />

And that's where I be long'n to be<br />

<br />

Yeah, the river so wide<br />

I can't step in<br />

Crazy 'bout her<br />

I just can't help it!<br />

<br />

Take me back, baby<br />

Take me back to St. Louie<br />

Well, I wanna go back<br />

And that's where I be long'n to be<br />

<br />

Ooh, take me back, pretty mama<br />

Take me back, pretty mama<br />

Woo! <br />

Take me back, pretty baby<br />

Take me back to St. Louie<br />

Yeah, take me back, mama<br />

That's where I be long to be.<br />

<br />
