St. Louis Gal

Lyrics

Worried in the nighttime, worried in the day
 ♪
 'Cause another sweetie took my man away
 ♪
 Down in St. Louis, there I lost my pride and joy
 St. Louis woman, stole the heart of my big boy
 I'm cryin'
 St. Louis gal, just look what you done done
 I said what you done done
 St. Louis gal, you gonna have some fun, I mean a lot of fun
 I'm always cryin' the blues, both night and day
 Now, daddy's gone
 But you will shake in your shoes, hear what I say
 'Cause some fine mornin', without any warnin'
 St. Louis gal, I'm gonna handle you, I say manhandle you
 You'll find yourself in a jam, as sure as anything what am
 Down in Missouri, there'll come a time
 Your life won't be worth a dime
 You stole my pal, St. Louis gal
 I'm going a-huntin', do, do, de, do
 ♪
 You know just what I'm gonna do
 You stole my pal, St. Louis gal
