[ Featuring Snooky Young ]
I got those St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be,
I got those St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be,
Oh, my man's got a heart like a rock thrown out in a deep blue sea
I love my man like a schoolboy loves his pie,
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his rocker and rye
I'm gonna stay with my man until the day I die.
I hate to see that evening sun go down,
I hate to see that evening sun go down,
'Cause my lovin' baby done left this town.
Oh, that St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings,
She pulls my man around by her apron strings.
Cnd if it wasn't for powder and her store-bought hair,
Oh, that man I love wouldn't go nowhere.
Takes a black-headed woman to makes a freight train jump the track
Takes a Blonde-headed woman makes a good man leave the town,
But a red-headed woman makes a man slap his papa down.
I got those St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be,
I got those St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be,
Oh, my man's got a heart like a rock thrown out in a deep blue sea
If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today,
If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today,
I'm gonna pack my trunk and make my getaway.
