There's a creepy melody
Like a fiend keeps haunting me
All night long it rambles on through my brain
And I'm near insane
It's the most peculiar tune
Like them old southern folks do croon
I can't seem to leave behind
That haunting refrain
It's the ghost of the St Louis blues
Lord, it follows me around
Like a thief in the dark
Hark, hear it now
It's the ghost of the St. Louis blues
Lord, that haunting strain
Is just like a piece of bad news
When midnight shadows creep
I hear the ghostly music moan
It means the end of sleep
To hear a thousand saxophones
Sob and groan
I hate to see that evening sun go down
Oh, I hate to see that evening sun go down
Only man I love, he done left this town
Oh, it's the ghost of the St Louis blues
Lord, it follows me around
Like a thief in the dark
Hark, hear it now
That old ghost that I never will lose
Lord, I will never lose
The ghost of the St. Louis blues
