\"St. Louis Blues\" is an American popular song composed by William Christopher Handy in the blues style. It remains a fundamental part of jazz musicians' repertoire. It was also one of the first blues songs to succeed as a pop song; it has been performed by numerous musicians of all styles from Louis Armstrong and Bessie Smith to Glenn Miller, Guy Lombardo, and the Boston Pops Orchestra. It has been called \"the jazzman's Hamlet\". Published in September 1914 by Handy's own company, it later gained such popularity that it inspired the dance step the \"Foxtrot\".
The version with Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong on cornet was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1993. The 1929 version by Louis Armstrong & His Orchestra (with Henry \"Red\" Allen) was inducted there in 2008. ======================== http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis_Blues ========================
I hate to see that evening sun go down I hate to see that evening sun go down 'Cause, my baby, he's gone left this town Fellin' 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 Pulls that man around by her If it wasn't for her and her That man I love would have gone nowhere, nowhere I got the St. Louis Blues Blues as I can be That man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me
I love my baby like a school boy loves his pie Like a Kentucky colonel loves his mint'n rye I love my man till the day I die `````````````````````````````````````````````````
