Bessie Smith - St. Louis Blues Lyrics

Artist: Bessie Smith

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Blues

  • Songwriters: William Handy

I hate to see the ev'nin' sun go down
I hate to see the ev'nin' sun go down
It makes me think of all my left go 'round

Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my trunk and make my getaway

St. Louis woman with her diamond rings
Pulls my man around by her apron strings
Wasn't for powder and his store-bought hair
The man I love, wouldn't go nowhere, nowhere

I got the St. Louis blues just as blue as I can be
He's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me
