Lyrics

We'd like to present to you, a new Uplifting lady just come over from Ireland to join us And her name is Ottilie Patterson And for her first number, Ottilie would like to sing Perhaps the oldest and most famous blues of all It's a piece called St. Louis Blues I hate to see the evening sun go down Oh Lord I hate to see the evening sun go down For it makes me think I'm on my last go-round Feeling tomorrow like I feel today Oh Lord feeling tomorrow, like I feel today I'm gonna pack my grip and make my getaway St. Louis woman with her diamond ring Pulls my man round by her apron strings T'was not for powder, nor any store bought hair The man I loved, would not have gone nowhere Nowhere I got them St. Louis Blues, just as blue as I can be Oh Lord that man got a heart like a rock cast in the sea Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me Oh I hate to see the evening sun go down Oh I hate to see the evening sun go down Lord it makes me think I'm on my last go-round
