I've got the blues,
the sad and melancholy blues.
I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
Because my baby,
he done left us down
If I'm feeling tomorrow just like I feel today
If I'm feeling tomorrow
just like I feel today
I'll pack my trunk and make my getaway
St. Louis woman
with your diamond ring
You drag that man around
by your apron string
If it weren't for powder
and for your store -bought hand
That man I love
would not have gone nowhere,
nowhere
Got the St. Louis blues
as blue as I can be
I got the St. Louis blues
as blue as I can be
That man's got a heart
like a rock cast in the sea
I love that man like a
schoolboy loves his pie
Oo h, I love that man
like a skew -boy loves a skye
Goin' to love my baby til' the day I die
I got the blues, I got the blues
I got the St. Louis blues
I got the blues, I got the blues
I got the St. Louis blues
I got the blues, I got the blues
I got the St. Louis blues
I got the blues, I got the blues
I got the St. Louis blues
I got the blues, I got the blues
I got the St. Louis blues
I got the blues, I got the blues
I got the St. Louis blues
Got the blues just as blue as I can be
Got the St. Louis blues you
