St. Louis Blues
Heartache in St. Louis: A Blues Tale of Love and Loss
Lyrics
I hate to see that evening sun go down
I dislike witnessing the sunset.
Well I hate to see that evening sun go down
I strongly dislike witnessing the sunset.
That girl of mine, she's done left this town
My significant other has left this town.
If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
If my feelings tomorrow mirror today's.
If I'm feelin' tomorrow just like I feel today
If my feelings tomorrow are the same as today's.
Gonna pack my bag and make my getaway
I will pack my bag and leave.
St. Louis woman with her diamond ring
A woman from St. Louis with a diamond ring.
Pulls that man around by her heap and string
She controls her man with her looks and charm.
If it wasn't for powder and that store bought hair
If not for cosmetics and artificial hair.
That woman I love she wouldn't have gone nowhere
The woman I love wouldn't have left.
Nowhere
Emphasizing that she left and went "nowhere."
I've got the St. Louie blues, I'm blue as I can be
I have the St. Louis blues, feeling very blue.
That woman got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Describing the woman's heart as hard as a rock in the sea.
Hell she'd wouldn't have left me, gone so far from me
Expressing regret that she left him.
Shes a mean little girl, don't mean no one man no good
Describing the woman as mean and harmful to men.
Shes a mean little girl, don't mean no one man no good
Reiterating the woman's harmful nature.
Well all the woman do is disturb peace in the neighborhood
Stating that all she does is disrupt peace in the neighborhood.
I love that girl, there's nothing I can say
Expressing love for the girl despite the difficulties.
I love that girl, there's nothing I can say
Reiterating love for the girl despite challenges.
Well she took all my money, now my house rents due today
She took all his money, and now the rent is due.
St. Louis woman, what are you doing to me
Questioning the actions of the St. Louis woman.
Yeah St. Louis woman, what are you doing to me
Repeating the questioning of the St. Louis woman's actions.
I believed my soul, try to voodoo me
Expressing disbelief as if the woman used voodoo on him.
