St. louis blues


I hates to see dat ev'nin' sun go down
Hates to see dat ev'nin' sun go down'Cause ma baby, she done lef' dis town
If I feel tomorrow lak ah feel today
Feel tomorrow lak ah feel todayI'll pack up my trunk, and make ma git away Saint Louis woman wid her diamon' rings
Pulls dat man 'roun' by her apron strings'Twern't for powder an' her store-bought hair
De man she love wouldn't gone nowhere, nowhere Got dem Saint Louis Blues I'm as blue as ah can be
Like a man done throwed that rock down into de sea
Got dem Saint Louis Blues I'm as blue as ah can be Went to de gypsy get her fortune tole
To de gypsy, done got her fortune tole'Cause she most wile 'bout her Jelly RollNow dat gypsy tole her, "Don't you wear no black"
She done tole her, "Don't you wear no black
Go to Saint Louis, you can win him back" If she git to Cairo, make Saint Louis by herself
Git to Cairo, find her old friend Jeffgwine to pin herself, right there, to his side If she flag his train, she sho' can ride And she sang Got dem Saint Louis Blues jes as blue as ah can be
Dat man got a heart lak a rock cast into de sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me
Doggone it!
I loves day man lak a schoolboy loves his pie
Lak a Kentucky Col'nel loves his mint an' ryeI'll love ma baby till the day ah die Now a black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the track
Said a black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the track
But a long tall gal makes a preacher ball the jack Lawd, a blonde-headed woman make a good man leave the town
I said a blonde-headed woman make a good man leave the town
But a red-headed woman make a boy slap his pappy down

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Paul LeRoy Bustill Robeson (1898-1976) è stato un artista poliedrico di straordinaria fama internazionale. Nato a Neshoba County, nel Mississippi, da una famiglia afroamericana, Robeson si distinse come attore, cantante baritono-basso e attivista per i diritti civili. Dopo aver conseguito la laurea in giurisprudenza all'Università della Columbia, Robeson intraprese una carriera teatrale di successo a Broadway, interpretando ruoli iconici come Othello e Samson. La sua voce potente e il talento drammatico lo resero un artista apprezzato sia negli Stati Uniti che in Europa. Robeson si impegnò attivamente nella lotta per la giustizia sociale, denunciando le discriminazioni razziali e lottando per i diritti dei lavoratori. Le sue posizioni politiche radicali lo portarono a essere ostracizzato dal mondo dello spettacolo americano durante gli anni '50. Nonostante le difficoltà, Robeson continuò a cantare e recitare in tutto il mondo, diventando un simbolo di resistenza e libertà. Tra i suoi brani più celebri figurano "Ol' Man River", "Deep River" e "The Ballad of the Free Negro".
