'Cause that gal's got a heart, like a rock cast in the sea
Go to St. Louis, and you can win her back
I asked the Gypsy, "What does the future hold?"
I got the St. Louis Blues, just as blue as I can be
I love that gal like a school boy loves his pie
Gypsy told me, "Don't you wear no black"
If it wasn't for powder and for store-bought hair
Feelin' tomorrow, just like I feel today
(No black)
The Gypsy told me, "Don't you wear no black"
St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings
Pulls this man around by her apron strings
Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me
That gal I love wouldn't I've gone nowhere, nowhere
'Cause my baby, gone and left this town
If I'm feelin' tomorrow, just like I feel today
Like a Kentucky Colonel loves his mint an' his rye
Yes, I went to the Gypsy, to get my fortune told
I'll pack my trunk, and make my get away
I love that gal, yes I love that gal
I went to the Gypsy, to get my fortune told
