St. Louis Blues lyrics
Song information

Lyrics
I hate to see, that evenin' sun go down! I hate to see, that evenin' sun go down! 'Cause my baby, gone and left this town!
Feelin' tomorrow, just like I feel today If I'm feelin' tomorrow, just like I feel today I'll pack my trunk, and make my get-away!
I went to the gypsy, to get my fortune told Yes, I went to the gypsy, to get my fortune told I asked the gypsy, "what does the future hold?"
Gypsy told me, "don't you wear no black!" Hmmm! the gypsy told me, "don't you wear no black!" ( no black! ) "Go to st. louis, and you can win her back!"
St. louis woman, with her diamond rings Pulls this man around by her apron strings
If it wasn't for powder and for store-bought hair That gal I love wouldn't h've gone nowhere, nowhere!
I got the st. louis blues, just as blue as I can be 'Cause that gal's got a heart, like a rock cast in the sea Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me!
I love that gal like a school boy loves his pie Like a kentucky colonel loves his mint an' his rye I love that gal, yes I love that gal Yes, I love that gal . . Until . . . the day . . . I die!
