St. Louis Blues
I hate to see__ that eve - nin' sun__ go down___
Hat  to  see__  that eve - nin' sun__ go down___
My ___ ba-by,  he gone and left  this   town

Feel-ing to - mor-row  just like I feel  to-day,
Feel-ing to - mor-row  just like I feel  to-day.
Gon - na pack my  trunk, make my get - a - way.

Saint  Lou - is wo-man___ with her dia-mond rings__
Pulls  her  man  a-round__by  her  a-pron  strings.__
'Twas - n't  for pow - der and all  her  store_bought hair,
that  man____ that  I  love  wouldn't have gone no - where.

Got  the  Saint  Lou - is Blues  just  as blue  as I_ can  be.
That man's got a heart like a rock   cast  in  the  sea
or   else  he  would-n't  have  gone   so  far from me.__

Well  I  love   that  man  like  a school-boy loves his pie,
Like an old Ken-tuck-y Col'-nel  loves his rocks
loves his  rocks and rye,
And I love  my  ba-by  till the day  I die.___

Got the Saint  Lou-is Blues (in the morn-ing
Saint  Lou-is Blues (in the eve-ning
My sweet man  left  the town___
I  hate  to see  the   sun  go   down___
I  got - ta  lose_____ those  ev-er lov-in'  
Saint____Lou-is  Blues. 

[Additonal Chorus Lyrics]
A black head-ed wo-man makes a freight train jump the track,
Said a black head-ed wo-man makes a freight train jump the track.
But a long tall gal makes a preacher  Ball the Jack.

Lord, a blonde head-ed wo-man makes a good man leave town,
Said a blonde head-ed wo-man makes a good man leave town.
But a red head wo-man makes a boy slap his papa down.

Oh, ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
I said ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
If my blues don't get you, my jazz-ing must.
