Saint Louis woman, with her diamond rings
Pulls that man around by her apron strings
If it weren't for powder and for store-bought hair
The gal I love wouldn't'a gone nowhere, nowhere
Got the Saint Louie Blues, just as blue as I can be
That gal's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me
I love that gal like a schoolboy loves his pie
Like a Kentucky Colonel loves his mint and rye
I'll love my baby until the day I die
