Careless Love / St. Louis Blues Songtext
von Odetta

Love oh love oh Careless Love
Love oh love oh Careless Love
Love oh love oh Careless Love
See what love has done to me

Once I wore my apron low
Once I wore my apron low
Once I wore my apron low
I could not keep that man away from my door

Now my apron strings won′t tie
Now my apron strings won't tie
Now my apron strings won′t tie
He walks down the street and passes my door right on by

Hate to see that evenin' sun go down
I hate to see that evenin' sun go down
Well it′s around the time my man done left this town


If I′m feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
If I′m feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
Pack up all my clothes, make my get away

St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings
Drags that man of mine around this town
By her apron strings

Now if it wasn′t for that powder
And that store bought hair
That man of mine
Wouldn't have gone nowhere

I′ve got the St Louis Blues, blue as I can be
That man got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me

If I'm feelin′ tomorrow like I feel today
If I′m feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
Pack up all my clothes, make my get away

Take me back to St Louis That′s where I belong
Take me back to St Louis, That's where I belong
And if you don′t believe I'm leavin′
Count the days I'm gone
