1
I hate to see that evening sun go down,
2
I hate to see that evening sun go down,
3
Cause my lovin' baby done left this town.
4
If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today,
5
If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today,
6
I'm gonna pack my trunk and make my getaway.
7
Oh, that St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings,
8
She pulls my man around by her apron strings.
9
And if it wasn't for powder and her store-bought hair,
10
Oh, that man of mine wouldn't go nowhere.
11
I got those St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be,
12
Oh, my man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea,
13
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me.
14
I love my man like a schoolboy loves his pie,
15
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his rocker and rye
16
I'll love my man until the day I die, Lord, Lord.
17
I got the St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be, Lord, Lord!
18
That man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea,
19
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me.
20
I got those St. Louis blues, I got the blues, I got the blues, I got the blues,
21
My man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea,
22
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me, Lord, Lord!
