Eartha Kitt St Louis Blues song lyrics

I hate to see the evening sun go down

Hate to see the evening sun go down

'Cause my baby, he's done left this town

Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today

Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today

I gonna pack my trunk make my getaway

St. Louis woman with her diamond rings

Pulls my man around by her apron strings

Weren't for powder and his store-bought hair

The man I love, wouldn't go nowhere

Got the St. Louis blues just as blue as I can be

But 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 that man like a school boy loves his pie

Like a Kentucky colonel loves his mint and rye

I love my baby till the day I die
