Josh White - St. Louis Blues

I hate to see that evenin' sun go down
Phil, I hate to see that evenin' sun go down
'Cause my baby, she's left this town

If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
Feelin' tomorrow just like I feel today
I'll pack my truck, I'll make my get away

Woman with her diamond ring
around by her apron strings
Wants some powder and that store bought hair
Girl I love would not have gone nowhere, nowhere

I've got the St.Louis blues, blues, blues as I can be
My girl's got a heart like a rock in the deep blue sea, watch it
Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me

What makes my grandfather love my grand mama so? Tell me
What makes my grandfather love my grand mama so?
Got the same old thing that he's had forty years ago

I got the St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
My girl's got a heart like a rock in the deep blue sea
Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me

Give it to me

I've got the St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
My girl's got a heart like a rock in the deep blue sea
Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me

I've got the St. Louis blues, I've got the St. Louis blues
I've got the St. Louis blues, I've got the St. Louis blues
Blue as I can be
