Jim Jackson — St. Louis Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Well I hates to see: that evening sun go down
Because it makes me think: about my last go‑round
It I’m feeling tomorrow: a‑like I feel today
I’m going to pack my suitcase: and make my long get‑away
Because the St Louis woman: she wears a diamond ring
She leads a man around: by her apron string
If it wasn’t for powder: and this store‑bought hair
Oh the girl I love: wouldn’t go nowhere
A redheaded woman: make a freight train jump the track
And a black‑headed girl: will make a preacher ball the
jack
