Blues
Alexey Kuznetsov Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
Cause my baby, he's gone left this town

Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my truck and make my give-a-way
St. Louis woman with her diamond ring
Pulls that man around by her, if it wasn't for her and her
That man I love would have gone nowhere, nowhere

I got the St. Louis blues, blues as I can be
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 my baby like a school boy loves his pie




Like a Kentucky colonel loves his mint 'n rye
I love my man till the day I die

Overall Meaning

The first line of Alexey Kuznetsov's song "Blues in 2-3" was adapted from the opening line of W.C. Handy's song, "St. Louis Blues." The opening lines, "I hate to see that evening sun go down, Cause my baby, he's gone left this town," set the melancholic tone of the song. The lyrics are about a woman who is heartbroken because her lover or husband has left her. She seems to be in a state of despair, which is reflected in the line, "Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today." The repetition of the opening line reinforces the sadness and frustration she feels about her loss.


The lyrics also mention a woman from St. Louis who has a diamond ring and is capable of holding onto her man. The singer wishes she could have the same power over her own man so that he would not have left her. She is stuck in a state of sadness, feeling helpless and powerless to get her man back, ending with the phrase "I love my man till the day I die." Overall, the lyrics depict the despair and heartbreak of a woman who has lost her lover and is unable to get him back. The song's simple but relatable story has led it to become a classic in the blues genre.
