Standard (EADGBE)
I hate to see, that evening sun go down.
I hate to see, that evening sun go down.
Since my baby up, and left this town.
If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today.
If I'm feelin' tomorrow, like I feel today.
I'm gonna pack my trunk and make my getaway.
St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings.
Pulls that man around, by her apron strings.
If it weren't for the powder and some store-bought hair..
then the man I love, wouldn't have gone nowhere, no..where.
Chorus
I got the St. Louis Blues, just as blue as I can be.
That man's got a heart like a rock, cast into the sea..
or else he wouldn't have gone, so far from me.
I love my baby, like a school boy loves his pie.
Like a Kentucky Colonel, loves his mint'n rye.
I love my man, till the day I die.
Outro
I got the St. Louis Blues, just as blue as I can be.
That man's got a heart like a rock, cast into the sea..
or else he wouldn't have gone, so far from me.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
