Cab Calloway - St Louis Blues Lyrics

Got St. Louis blues
Blue as I can be
There's two people in this world I just can't stand
There's two people in this world I just can't stand
That's a two-faced woman and a lyin' man

I'm gonna leave this town walkin', talkin' to myself
I'm gonna leave this town walkin', talkin' to myself
Because the sweet woman I love, she belongs to somebody else

Oh, I say, look here, sweet mama, someday your papa's
And when that big old hound comes around
And when that big old piece of hound comes
He's sure gonna leave this town

I'm goin' back to Chicago to have my hambone boiled
I'm goin' way back to Chicago to have my hambone boiled
Because these women in New York City let my good hambone spoil

I got the St. Louis blues, sweet mama
Got St. Louis blues, just blue
Blue as I can be
St. Louis blues, baby
Ahh, your daddy got St. Louis blues, sweet mama
All those blues, I'm blue as I can be
