ST.LOUIS BLUES — текст песни (Billie Holiday)

W.C. Handy

I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
`Cause, my baby, he`s gone left this town
Fellin` tomorrow like I feel today
If I`m feelin` tomorrow like I feel today
I`ll pack my truck and make my give-a-way

St. Louis woman with her diamond ring
Pulls that man around by her
If it wasn`t for her and her
That man I love would have gone nowhere, nowhere
I got the St. Louis Blues
Blues as I can be
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 love my baby like a school boy loves his pie
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his mint`n rye
I love my man till the day I die
