St. Louis Blues Lyrics

Jim Jackson St. Louis Blues

Well I hates to see : that evening sun go down
Because it makes me think : about my last go‑round

It I'm feeling tomorrow : a‑like I feel today
I'm going to pack my suitcase : and make my long get‑away

Because the St Louis woman : she wears a diamond ring
She leads a man around : by her apron string

If it wasn't for powder : and this store‑bought hair
Oh the girl I love : wouldn't go nowhere

A redheaded woman : make a freight train jump the track
And a black‑headed girl : will make a preacher ball the
jack
