Lyrics Nat King Cole

Nat King Cole

St. Louis Blues

St. Louis woman with her diamond rings

Pulls that man around by her apron strings

T’wasn't for the powder and her store-bought hair

The girl I love would not go nowhere,

I got the St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be

That girl got a heart like a rock cast in the sea

Or else she would not have gone so far from me

I love that girl like a schoolboy loves his pie,

Like a Kentucky Colonel loves his mint and rye

I'll love my baby untill the day I die

I'll love my baby till the day I die
