St. Louis Blues - Big Joe Turner

I hate to see the evening sun go down

I hate to see the evening sun go down

It makes me think I’m on my last go 'round

I’m feeling tomorrow like I feel today

I’m feeling tomorrow like I’m feeling today

Gonna pack my trunk and make my getaway

Saint Louis woman with her diamond ring

Oh they’re laying around by her apron string

If it wasn’t for the powder and the store-bought hair

That girl of mine wouldn’t gone so far, far, yeah!

I got the Saint Louis blues, blue as I can be!

That gal got a heart like a rock down in the sea

Or else she wouldn’t have gone so far from me, yeah!

Saint Louis woman with her diamond ring

Oh they’re laying around by her apron string

If it wasn’t for the powder and the store-bought hair

Now that girl of mine wouldn’t gone so far, far, yeah!

I got the Saint Louis blues, blue as I can be!

Oh that girl got a heart like a rock down in the sea

Or else she wouldn’t gone so far from me

Now let’s say grandma loves ol' grandpa so

Oh grandma loves ol' grandpa so

He can still do the boogie like he did forty years ago

the blues rabbit, runnin' for a solid mile

Well the blues rabbit, runnin' for a solid mile

Well the rabbit done go cry like a little baby child

Saint Louis blues!
