St. Louis Blues Lyrics - The Very Best Of Buster Brown - Buster Brown

Harmonica intro 

Buster spoken:: 

'No, no, no, St. Louis Blues 

Go right into it, ev'rybody' 

One 

Unk bandmember: 

'What kind of beat?' 

Buster: Hm? 

'Swingin', swingin' baby, just swing it' 

Unk bandmember: 'Yas-sir' 

(Buster laughter) 

Let's see, on a C 

One, one, two, three, four 

(harmonica, guitar & instrumental) 

Well, I hate to see 

That ev'nin sun go down 

Oh, but I hate to see 

That lovely sun go down 

Well, it makes me to know 

'Morrow's my last go 'round 

Well, if I feelin' tomorrow 

Just like I feel, today 

If I'm feelin' tomorrow 

Just like I feel, today 

I'm gonna pack my trunk 

And make my get-a-way 

A St. Louie woman 

With all the diamond rings 

She drags the man around 

By her apron string 

If it wasn't for powder 

An that store bought hair 

An that gal a-mine 

She wouldn't be goin' nowhere 

No where! 

I got the St. Louie blues 

Blue as a man can be 

Yeah, that gal's got a heart 

Like a rock cast into the sea 

Well, if she didn't have 

She wouldn't have gone so far from me 

Look out, now! 

(harmonica, instrumental & chorus) 

Yeah! 

Woo! 

Ha! 

The Mississippi River 

Long, deep an wide 

I tried, but good God 

She's on the other side! 

Take me back, baby 

Take me back to St. Louie 

Well, I wanna go back 

And that's where I be long'n to be 

Yeah, the river so wide 

I can't step in 

Crazy 'bout her 

I just can't help it! 

Take me back, baby 

Take me back to St. Louie 

Well, I wanna go back 

And that's where I be long'n to be 

Ooh, take me back, pretty mama 

Take me back, pretty mama 

Woo! 

Take me back, pretty baby 

Take me back to St. Louie 

Yeah, take me back, mama 

That's where I be long to be.
