Saint Louis woman, with all her diamond rings

Stole that man of mine      by her apron strings

If it wasn't for powder   and her store-bought hair

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 love that man like a schoolboy loves his pie
    A   A6  A7          Gdim   Cdim   E
Like a Kentucky Colonel loves his rocker and rye
Edim B7      B7/F#  A      Gdim Cdim    E
Gonna love that man   til the day  I   die
