Oscar Benton - The Best of Oscar Benton

St. Louis Blues

I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
'Cause my baby, she done left this town
Feel it tomorrow like I feel today
Yes, feel it tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my trunk, oh, and make my getaway

St. Louis woman with the diamond rings
Pulls that man around by her apron strings
Well, if it wasn't for the powder and for store-bought hair
Oh, the woman I love wouldn't have gone nowhere

I've got a St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
I've got a St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
Why else my woman gone so far away from me?

C'mon guys, blow them horns

St. Louis woman with the diamond rings
Pulls that man around by her apron strings
Well, if it wasn't for the powder and for store-bought hair
Oh, the woman I love wouldn't have gone nowhere

I've got a St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
I've got a St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
Why else my woman gone so far away from me?

Yes, I've got a St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
I've got a St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
Why else my woman gone so far away from me?

St. Louis woman with the diamond rings
Pulls that man around by her apron strings
Well, if it wasn't for the powder and for store-bought hair
Oh, the woman I love wouldn't have gone nowhere

I've got a St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
I've got a St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
Why else my woman gone so far away from me?

Oh, I've got a St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
Yes, I've got a St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
Why else my woman gone so far away from me?

C'mon, do it again right on me
Whoa, right, yeah, ay
Oh, why else my woman gone so far away from me?
