Duke Ellington

I hate to see that evening sun go down,<br /> I hate to see that evening sun go down,<br /> 'Cause my lovin' baby done left this town.If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today,<br /> If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today,<br /> I'm gonna pack my trunk and make my getaway.Oh, that St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings,<br /> She pulls my man around by her apron strings.<br /> And if it wasn't for powder and her store-bought hair,<br /> Oh, that man of mine wouldn't go nowhere.I got those St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be,<br /> Oh, my man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea,<br /> Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me.I love my man like a schoolboy loves his pie,<br /> Like a Kentucky colonel loves his rocker and rye<br /> 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!<br /> That man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea,<br /> 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,<br /> My man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea,<br /> Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me, Lord, Lord!<br /> <br /> Songwriters<br /> BILLY STRAYHORNPublished by<br /> Lyrics © RESERVOIR MEDIA MANAGEMENT INCLyrics provided by TANCODEhttps://damnlyrics.com/" readonly=""/>
