St. Louis Blues

St. Louis woman with all her diamond rings

Oh, she pulls her man around by her apron strings

Well, if that wasn't for powder or for her store-bought hair

You know that gal I love wouldn't have gone nowhere, nowhere

I hate to see that evenin' sun go down

I hate to see that evenin' sun go down

'Cause that gal I love, she's gonna left this town

Well, I hate to see that evenin' sun go down

Oh, I hate to see that evenin' sun go down

'Cause that gal I love, she's gonna left this town

St. Louis woman

St. Louis woman with all her diamond rings

Oh, you know she pulls her man around by her apron strings

Well, if that wasn't for powder or for her store-bought hair

You know that gal I love wouldn't have gone nowhere, nowhere

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

Oh, that gal's gotta heart like a rock cast in the sea

Well, oh hell, she wouldn't have gone so far from me
