St Louis woman with all her diamond rings
That man around her apron strings
And if it wasn't for powder and her store-bought hair
That man of mine wouldn't go nowhere nowhere
I got those St Louis blues just as blue as I can be
My man's got a heart like a rock cast down in the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me
I love that man like a schoolboy loves his pie
Just like a Kentucky colonel loves his rocker and rye
I'll love that man until the day I die
I just see St Louis woman with all her diamond rings
Oh man around by my apron strings
But if it wasn't for powder and all that store-bought hair
Oh that man of mine wouldn't go nowhere nowhere
I got those St Louis blues just as blue as I can be
My man's got a heart like a rock cast down in the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me
