Josh White - St. Louis Blues lyrics

rate me

I hate to see that evenin' sun go down<br />

Phil, I hate to see that evenin' sun go down<br />

'Cause my baby, she's left this town<br />

<br />

If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today<br />

Feelin' tomorrow just like I feel today<br />

I'll pack my truck, I'll make my get away<br />

<br />

Woman with her diamond ring<br />

[Incomprehensible] around by her apron strings<br />

Wants some powder and that store bought hair<br />

Girl I love would not have gone nowhere, nowhere<br />

<br />

I've got the St.Louis blues, blues, blues as I can be<br />

My girl's got a heart like a rock in the deep blue sea, watch it<br />

Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me<br />

<br />

What makes my grandfather love my grand mama so? Tell me<br />

What makes my grandfather love my grand mama so?<br />

Got the same old thing that he's had forty years ago<br />

<br />

I got the St. Louis blues, blue as I can be<br />

My girl's got a heart like a rock in the deep blue sea<br />

Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me<br />

<br />

Give it to me<br />

<br />

I've got the St. Louis blues, blue as I can be<br />

My girl's got a heart like a rock in the deep blue sea<br />

Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me<br />

<br />

I've got the St. Louis blues, I've got the St. Louis blues<br />

I've got the St. Louis blues, I've got the St. Louis blues<br />

Blue as I can be
