St Louis Blues Songtext
von Cab Calloway

I hate to see the evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
′Cause my baby, she done left this town
Feeling tomorrow like I feel today
Feeling tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my trunk and make my getaway


St. Louis woman with all her diamond rings
She pulls that man around by her apron strings
Give you one for a bottle and all that store-bought hair
Oh, the gal I love wouldn′t go nowhere, nowhere

Got the St. Louis blues just as blue as I can be
Yeah, the gal got a heart like a rock cast to the sea
Oh, else she wouldn't go so far from me
Oh, I love that gal like a schoolboy loves his pie
Yeah, for I love that gal like a schoolboy loves his pie
Like an Okie-dokie girl, he loves his rock and rye

So bye-bye baby, bye-bye baby blues
Bye-bye baby, bye-bye baby blues
Bye-bye baby, 'cause the gal I love leaves the blues
