about

I like to get out among the audience when i sing this one, my Australian-accented version of W. C. Handy's classic St Louis Blues.

lyrics

I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
Cause my baby, she's gone left this town
Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my truck and make my give-a-way
St. Louis woman with her diamond ring
Has got this man wrapped round her apron strings,
if it wasn't for powder
and for store bought hair
That gal of mine wouldn't have gone nowhere, nowhere
I got the St. Louis blues, blues as I can be
That gal's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me
I love my gal like a school boy loves his pie
Like an old Kentucky colonel loves his Russian rye
Yeah, I'll love that gal until the day I die
