The Mills Brothers St. Louis Blues
Recorded NYC 14 April, 1932
Composed by William Christopher Handy
Got the St. Louis Blues jes as blue as I can be
Got the St. Louis Blues jes as blue as I can be
That gal got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Oh a black headed woman make a freight train jump that track
I say a black headed woman make a freight train jump that track
Take a long tall woman make a preacher ball the Jack
Say a blonde headed woman make a good man leave this town
I say a blonde headed woman make a good man leave this town
But a red head woman make a boy slap his papa down
Oh Mama, Mama look at Sam
Oh Mama, won't you make that Sam
He's eatin' all the meat and lickin' at that frying pan
