I hate to see de evenin' sun go down
Hate to see de evenin' sun go down 'Cause ma baby he done lef' dis town
Feelin' tomorrow like
I feel today Feel tomorrow like
I feel today I'll pack my trunk make ma git away
Saint Louis woman wid her diamon' rings
Pulls dat man 'roun' by her apron strings
'Twant for powder an' for store bought hair
De man ah love would not gone nowhere nowhere
Got de Saint Louis Blues jes as blue as ah can be
That man got a heart lak a rock cast in the 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
Been to de gypsy to get ma fortune tole
To de gypsy done got ma fortune tole
Cause I'm most wile 'bout ma
Jelly Roll
Gypsy done tole me Don't you wear no black
Yes she done told me Don't you wear no black
Go to Saint Louis you can win him back
Help me to Cairo make
Saint Louis by maself
Git to Cairo find ma old friend
Jeff Gwine to pin maself close to his side
If ah flag his train
I sho' can ride
Got de
Saint Louis Blues jes as blue as ah can be
That man got a heart lak a rock cast in the 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 Colonel loves his mint an' rye
