Louis Armstrong - St Louis Blues Lyrics
I hate's to see dat ev'nin' sun go downHate's to see dat ev'nin' sun go downCause ma baby, she done lef' dis townIf I feel tomorrow lak ah feel todayFeel tomorrow lak ah feel todayI'll pack up my trunk, and make ma git awaySaint Louis woman wid her diamon' ringsPulls dat man 'roun' by her apron strings'Twern't for powder an' her store-bought hairDe man she love wouldn't gone nowhere, nowhereGot dem Saint Louis Blues I'm as blue as ah can beLike a man done throwed that rock down into de seaGot dem Saint Louis Blues I'm as blue as ah can beWent to de gypsy get her fortune toleTo de gypsy, done got her fortune toleCause she most wile 'bout her Jelly RollNow dat gypsy tole her, "Don't you wear no black"She done tole her, "Don't you wear no blackGo to Saint Louis, you can win him back"If she git toCairo, make Saint Louis by herselfGit to Cairo, find her old friend Jeffgwine to pin herself, right there, to his side If she flag his train, she sho' can rideAnd she sangGot dem Saint Louis Blues jes as blue as ah can beDat man got a heart lak a rock cast into de seaOr else he wouldn't have gone so far from meDoggone it!I loves day man lak a schoolboy loves his pieLak a Kentucky Col'nel loves his mint an' ryeI'll love ma baby till the day ah dieNow a black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the trackSaid a black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the trackBut a long tall gal makes a preacher ball the jackLawd, a blonde-headed woman make a good man leave the townI said a blonde-headed woman make a good man leave the townBut a red-headed woman make a boy slap his pappy down
