St. Louis Blues Lyrics

(Music & Lyrics by William C. Handy)

I hate to see the evenin` sun go down,
I hate to see the evenin` sun go down,
`Cause my baby she left this town.

Feelin` tomorrow, just like I feel today,
Feelin` tomorrow, just like I feel today,
I`ll pack my trunk and make my get-away.

St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings,
She pulls her man around, by her apron strings;
She wants for powder, and for store-bought hair,
The man she loves he wouldn`t go nowhere

St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings,
She pulls her man around, by her apron strings;
She wants for powder, and for store-bought hair,
The man she loves he wouldn`t go nowhere
Wouldn`t go nowhere
Wouldn`t go nowhere
He wouldn`t go nowhere
He wouldn`t go nowhere
