St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings Pulls that man around by her apron strings Weren't for powders and for store-bought hair The gal I love wouldn't have go nowhere Got those St. Louis blues,just as blue as I can be Oh,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 I'll love my baby until the day I die
