Cecile McLorin Salvant St. Louis Gal Lyrics Cecile McLorin Salvant lyrics

Worried in the nighttime, worried in the day
'cause another woman, took my man away
down in St. Louis, there I lost my pride and joy
St. Louis woman, stole the heart of my big boy, I'm cryin'!
St. Louis gal, just look what you done done, I mean what you done done
St. Louis gal, we're gonna have some fun, I mean a-lots of fun!
I'm always cryin' the blues, both night and day
now, daddy's gone but you will shake in your shoes
hear what I say, 'cause some fine mornin', without any warnin'

St. Louis gal, I'm gonna handle you, I mean manhandle you
you'll find yourself in a jam, as sure as anything what am
I'm going a-huntin', do, do, de, do
you know just what I'm gonna shoot, you stole my pal, St. Louis gal
down in Missouri, there'll come a time, your life won't be worth a dime
you stole my pal, St. Louis gal.
