"St. Louis Gal" lyrics - CECILE MCLORIN SALVANT

[Intro:]
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 that he's gone
But you will shake in your shoes, hear what I say
'Cause some fine morn, 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-hunting, ooh, doo, dee, do
You know just what I'm gonna shoot
You stole my pal, St. Louis gal
Down in Missouri, there will come a time
Your life won't be worth a dime
You stole my pal, St. Louis gal
