St. Louis Blues

歌詞

I walked all the way from East St. Louis town I did not have but the one poor lousy dime Lord, I spent every nickel on a particular friend of mine I spent every nickel on a particular friend of mine Now, if you ain't got a dollar, won't you give me a lousy dime? So I can see that darling girl of mine Lord, my first name's Furry, I ain't gon' tell you my second name Way my woman treat me, low-down dirty shame I'm going back to Gary, oh, I'm going back there to stay Babe, you had no business treating me this-a-way I know, I know, my woman, she gon' laugh and shout When the train roll 'long and I come walking out If you catch me stealing, I do not mean no harm I'm just stealing, people, try to get along My woman, she ain't nothin', baby, but skin and bones I just give her my money, just to help her 'long I see your toney, and it made me think of mine I started a conversation, baby, try to keep from crying If you ever want to hear me, sing this worldly song Ain't nothing but the devil, make a man do wrong Fare thee well, fare thee well, fare thee well, old Memphis, Tennessee I'm going back to my baby, she won't come back to me Lord, this time, this, 'nother year, baby, where will I be? This time another year, baby, wonder where will I be?
