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
