St. louis blues soundtrack: band intro/crap game/c.]st. ...]


I hate's to see that evenin' sun go down
Hate's to see that evenin' sun go down
'Cause my baby she done left this town

If I feel tomorrow like I feel today
Feel tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack up my trunk and make my getaway

Saint Louis woman with her diamond rings
Pulls that man 'round by her apron strings
'Twern't for powder and her store-bought hair
The man she love wouldn't gone nowhere, nowhere

Got them Saint Louis Blues; I'm as blue as I can be
Like a man done throwed that rock down into the sea
Got them Saint Louis Blues; I'm as blue as I can be

Went to the gypsy, get her fortune tole
To the gypsy done got her fortune tole
'Cause she most wild 'bout her Jelly Roll

Now that gypsy told her, "Don't you wear no black"
She done told her, "Don't you wear no black
Go to Saint Louis: you can win him back"

If she get to Cairo, make Saint Louis by herself
Get to Cairo, find her old friend Jeff
Goin' to pin herself right there to his side
If she flag his train, she sho' can ride

And she sang

Got them Saint Louis Blues, just as blue as I can be
That man got a heart like a rock cast into the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me, doggone it

I loves day, man, like a schoolboy loves his pie
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his mint and rye
I'll love my baby till the day I 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

Lord, a blond-headed woman make a good man leave the town
I said a blond-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

Bessie Smith, known as "The Empress of the Blues", was an American blues singer born on April 15, 1894, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and died on September 26, 1937, in Clarksdale, Mississippi. Considered one of the greatest blues artists of all time, Smith dominated the music scene of the 1920s and 1930s with her powerful voice, emotional performances, and magnetic stage presence. Born into poverty, Bessie began singing on the streets as a child. Her musical career took off in the 1920s when she joined Columbia Records, releasing numerous hits that became blues standards such as "Downhearted Blues", "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" and "St. Louis Blues". Smith was a pivotal figure in popularizing blues music among mainstream audiences and helped break down racial stereotypes associated with the genre. Her influence on American music has been immense, inspiring generations of blues, jazz, and soul artists.
