Chris Barber - St. Louis Blues lyrics

Artist: Chris Barber

album: Jubilee Special


We'd like to present to you, a new
Uplifting lady just come over from Ireland to join us
And her name is Ottilie Patterson
And for her first number, Ottilie would like to sing
Perhaps the oldest and most famous blues of all
It's a piece called St. Louis Blues
I hate to see the evening sun go down
Oh Lord I hate to see the evening sun go down
For it makes me think I'm on my last go-round
Feeling tomorrow like I feel today
Oh Lord feeling tomorrow, like I feel today
I'm gonna pack my grip and make my getaway
St. Louis woman with her diamond ring
Pulls my man round by her apron strings
T'was not for powder, nor any store bought hair
The man I loved, would not have gone nowhere
Nowhere
I got them St. Louis Blues, just as blue as I can be
Oh Lord that man got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me
Oh I hate to see the evening sun go down
Oh I hate to see the evening sun go down
Lord it makes me think I'm on my last go-round
