Big Joe Turner — St. Louis Blues

I hate to see the evening sun go down I hate to see the evening sun go down It makes me think I'm on my last go 'round I'm feeling tomorrow like I feel today I'm feeling tomorrow like I'm feeling today Gonna pack my trunk and make my getaway Saint Louis woman with her diamond ring Oh they're laying around by her apron string If it wasn't for the powder and the store-bought hair That girl of mine wouldn't gone so far, far, yeah! I got the Saint Louis blues, blue as I can be! That gal got a heart like a rock down in the sea Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me, yeah! [Musical bridge] Saint Louis woman with her diamond ring Oh they're laying around by her apron string If it wasn't for the powder and the store-bought hair Now that girl of mine wouldn't gone so far, far, yeah! I got the Saint Louis blues, blue as I can be! Oh that girl got a heart like a rock down in the sea Or else she wouldn't gone so far from me Now let's say grandma loves ol' grandpa so Oh [?] grandma loves ol' grandpa so He can still do the boogie like he did forty years ago [?] the blues [?] rabbit, runnin' for a solid mile Well the blues [?] rabbit, [?] runnin' for a solid mile Well the rabbit done go cry like a little baby child Saint Louis blues!
