In announcing that
We're gonna have a young man
Makin' a big name for himself
In the world of blues and the rock 'n' roll
He's one of your own
And he helped shape the way of rock 'n' roll
As we know it
Mr. Johnnie Johnson
Well
A great
A great city and a great man
Deserve to have a song written after'em
St. Louis Blues
I hate to see that evenin' sun go down
I hate to see that evenin' sun go down
Because the woman I'm lovin'
Man, she done blow'd this town
If I feel tomorrow like I feel today
If I feel tomorrow like I feel today
I'm gonna pack my things
And make my get away
St. Louis woman
With a diamond ring
Needs a man around
By her apron string
If it wasn't for powder
And store-bought hair
That woman I'm lovin'
Wouldn't wear no??
No, well,
I got the St. Louis blues
I'm blue as I can be
Because the woman I love
Got a heart like a rockin' machine
If she'd a been alright
She wouldn't a gone so far from me
I hear ya!
St. Louis woman
