St Louis Blues Songtext
von Shirley Bassey

I hate to see that evening sun go down
Hate to see that evening sun go down
′Cause my baby, he done left this town

Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
Feel tomorrow like I feel today
I′ll pack my bags and make my getaway


St. Louis woman with all her diamond rings
Kept that man around by her apron strings
T'weren't for powder and for store-bought hair
That man I loved would not have gone nowhere, nowhere

I got the St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be
That man got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn′t have gone so far away from me

I love that man like a schoolboy loves his pie
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his mint and rye
I′ll love my baby 'til the day I die
