Lyrics

I hate's to see dat ev'nin' sun go down
 Hate's to see dat ev'nin' sun go down
 Cause ma baby, she done lef' dis town
 If I feel tomorrow lak ah feel today
 Feel tomorrow lak ah feel today
 I'll pack up my trunk, and make ma git away
 Saint Louis woman wid her diamon' rings
 Pulls dat man 'roun' by her apron strings
 'Twern't for powder an' her store-bought hair
 De man she love wouldn't gone nowhere, nowhere
 Got dem Saint Louis Blues I'm as blue as ah can be
 Like a man done throwed that rock down into de sea
 Got dem Saint Louis Blues I'm as blue as ah can be
 Went to de gypsy get her fortune tole
 To de gypsy, done got her fortune tole
 Cause she most wile 'bout her Jelly Roll
 Now dat gypsy tole her, "Don't you wear no black"
 She done tole her, "Don't you wear no black
 Go to Saint Louis, you can win him back"
 If she git toCairo, make Saint Louis by herself
 Git to Cairo, find her old friend Jeff
 gwine to pin herself, right there, to his side If she flag his train, she sho' can ride
 And she sang
 Got dem Saint Louis Blues jes as blue as ah can be
 Dat man got a heart lak a rock cast into de sea
 Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me
 Doggone it!
 I loves day man lak a schoolboy loves his pie
 Lak a Kentucky Col'nel loves his mint an' rye
 I'll love ma baby till the day ah die
 Now a black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the track
 Said a black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the track
 But a long tall gal makes a preacher ball the jack
 Lawd, a blonde-headed woman make a good man leave the town
 I said a blonde-headed woman make a good man leave the town
 But a red-headed woman make a boy slap his pappy down
