St. Louis Blues


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

Feelin' 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.

Habibi I love me some Bessie Smith Thank you, but what Inever understand why we are so blind sometimes, why attack the woman? it is the man that is cheating!! I never understood that one! Etta James did a good job on that song too.can not find it on you tube,
But my favotite song by Etta is this one, along the same vein..

You know DW, I have to get one of those lastest comments boxes on my blog. I had no idea you were over here repeating yourself.
