cab calloway - st. louis blues lyrics

Loading...

i hate to see that evening sun go down,
i hate to see that evening sun go down,
’cause my lovin’ baby done left this town.

if i feel tomorrow, like i feel today,
if i feel tomorrow, like i feel today,
i’m gonna pack my trunk and make my getaway.

oh, that st. louis woman, with her diamond rings,
she pulls my man around by her apr-n strings.
and if it wasn’t for powder and her store-bought hair,
oh, that man of mine wouldn’t go nowhere.

i got those st. louis blues, just as blue as i can be,
oh, my man’s got a heart like a rock cast in the sea,
or else he wouldn’t have gone so far from me.

i love my man like a schoolboy loves his pie,
like a kentucky colonel loves his rocker and rye
i’ll love my man until the day i die, lord, lord.

i got the st. louis blues, just as blue as i can be, lord, lord!
that man’s got a heart like a rock cast in the sea,
or else he wouldn’t have gone so far from me.

i got those st. louis blues, i got the blues, i got the blues, i got the blues,
my man’s got a heart like a rock cast in the sea,
or else he wouldn’t have gone so far from me, lord, lord!

another version
———————–
a
got st. louis blues…..blue as i can be;

b
there’s two people in this world i just can’t stand;
there’s two people in this world i just can’t stand;
that’s a two-faced woman and a lyin’ man;

b
i’m gonna leave this town walkin’, talkin’ to myself;
i’m gonna leave this town walkin’, talkin’ to myself;
because the sweet woman i love, she belongs to somebody else.

c (the following verse is so heavily scatted that it is virtually incomprehensible.)
[oh, i say, look here, sweet mama, someday your papa’s…
when that big old hound comes around…
and when that big old piece of hound comes..
he’s sure gonna leave this town.]

b
i’m goin’ back to chicago to have my hambone boiled;
i’m goin’ way back to chicago to have my hambone boiled;
because these women in new york city let my good hambone spoil.

d
i got the st.louis blues, sweet mama, got st. louis blues, just blue,
blue as i can be, st. louis blues; baby,
aw, your daddy got st. louis blues, sweet mama,
all those blues, i’m blue as i can be.

version 3
——————
i hate to see that evenin’ sun go down,
i hate to see that evenin’ sun go down,
’cause my baby has left this town.

if i’m feelin’ tomorrow, just like i feel today,
if i’m feelin’ tomorrow, like i feel today,
i’ll pack my trunk and make my get-away.

st. louis woman, with all her diamond rings,
stole that man of mine, by her apr-n strings;
if it wasn’t for powder, and her store-bought hair,
that man i love wouldn’t’ve gone nowhere!
nowhere!

i’ve got the st. louis blues, just as blue as i can be;
lord, that man’s got a heart like a rock cast in the sea,
or else he wouldn’t have gone so far from me!

gee, i love that man like a school boy loves his pie,
just like an old kentucky colonel loves his rock and rye,
i guess i’ll love that man until the day i die.
