|
Worried in the nighttime, worried in the day |
|
'Cause another sweetie, took my man away |
|
Down in St. Louis, there I lost my pride and joy |
|
St. Louis woman, stole the heart of my big boy, I'm cryin'! |
|
St. Louis gal, just look what you done done, I said what you done done |
|
St. Louis gal, you gonna have some fun, I mean a-lots of fun! |
|
I'm always cryin' the blues, both night and day |
|
Now, daddy's gone but you will shake in your shoes |
|
Hear what I say, 'cause some fine mornin', without any warnin' |
|
St. Louis gal, I'm gonna handle you, I say manhandle you |
|
You'll find yourself in a jam, as sure as anything what am |
|
Down in Missouri, there'll come a time, your life won't be worth a dime |
|
You stole my pal, St. Louis gal, I'm going a-huntin', do, do, de, do |
|
You know just what I'm gonna do, you stole my pal, St. Louis gal |
