St. Louis Blues

Got St. Louis blues

Blue as I can be

There's two people in this world I just can't stand

There's two people in this world I just can't stand

That's a two-faced woman and a lyin' man

I'm gonna leave this town walkin', talkin' to myself

I'm gonna leave this town walkin', talkin' to myself

Because the sweet woman I love, she belongs to somebody else

Oh, I say, look here, sweet mama, someday your papa's

And when that big old hound comes around

And when that big old piece of hound comes

He's sure gonna leave this town

I'm goin' back to Chicago to have my hambone boiled

I'm goin' way back to Chicago to have my hambone boiled

Because these women in New York City let my good hambone spoil

I got the St. Louis blues, sweet mama

Got St. Louis blues, just blue

Blue as I can be

St. Louis blues, baby

Ahh, your daddy got St. Louis blues, sweet mama

All those blues, I'm blue as I can be
