| Lyrics: | "St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings, Pulls that man around by her apron strings. Twasn't for powder and her store-bought hair, The girl I love wouldn't go nowhere. Got those St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be, That gal got a heart like a rock cast in the sea, Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me. I love that gal like a schoolboy loves his pie, Like a Kentucky colonel loves his mint and rye I'll love my baby until the day I die" |
