"St. Louis Blues" lyrics
"St. Louis Blues"
My man, my man got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
My man, my man got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
My man, my man got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
Cause my baby he done left, he done left this town
Feelin' tomorrow like I, like I feel today
Feelin' tomorrow like I, like I feel today
I'll gonna pack my rags, make my getaway
St. Louis woman in all her diamond ring
She pulls my man around, by her apron strings
If it wasn't for powder and that store-bought hair
You know that man I love, he wouldn't have gone nowhere
I got that St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
My man got a heart like a rock down in the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far away from me
My man's, my man's gone
Ooh, he done left this town
He done gone gone gone gone
He done left me, yes he has
Oh daddy, I want my man
But he done gone, he done left
He done left this town

Ann Peebles - "Do I Need You" I've been unhappy all my life
Seems like all I do is sacrifice
The more I sacrifice the worse it makes me feel
Most of the things I thought were wrong
Turned out to be for real
I don't know if I'm...
Otis Redding - "Pain In My Heart" Pain in my heart
she's treating me cold
where can my baby be
Lord no one knows.
Pain in my heart just won't let me sleep

Lord where can she be
Another day, as again it is...
Janis Joplin - "Turtle Blues" Ah, I'm a mean, mean woman
And I don't mean no one man, no good, no
I'm a mean, mean woman
I don't mean no one man, no good
I just treats 'em like I wants to
I never treats 'em, honey like I should...
Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings - "Be Easy" Some people say
You've got to fight for a love that's true
Climb every mountain
See every trial and tribulation through
I'm here to tell you
That's only half the lesson
Now if you want a girl to come...
