The night was mighty dark so you could hardly see
For the moon refused to shine
Couple sitting underneath the willow tree
For love they pined
Little May was kinda 'fraid of darkness
So she says, "I guess I'll go", boy began to sigh
Looked up to the sky, told the sky his little tale of woe
So shine on, shine on harvest moon, up in the sky
I ain't had no loving since January, February, June or July
Snow time ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon
So shine on, shine on harvest moon for me and my gal
Snow time ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon
So shine on, shine on harvest moon for me and my gal
I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
'Cause my lovin' baby done left this town
If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today
If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today
I'm gonna pack my trunk and make my getaway
Oh, that St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings
She pulls my man around by her apron strings
And if it wasn't for powder and her store-bought hair
Oh, that man of mine wouldn't go nowhere
I got those St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be
Oh, my man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me
I love my man like a schoolboy loves his pie
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his rocker and rye
I'll love my man until the day I die, Lord, Lord
I got the St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be, Lord, Lord!
That man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me
I got those St. Louis blues, I got the blues
I got the blues, I got the blues
My man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me, Lord, Lord!
