I hate to see the evening sun go down

Said I hate to see the evening sun go down

'Cause my lover done left this town

If I'm feelling tomorrow just like I feel today

Said If I'm feelling tomorrow just like I feel today

I'm gonna pack my bag and make my getaway

Oh that St. Louis woman

With her diamond rings

And she pulls that man around by her apron strings

What for powder and her store-bought hair

The man I love wouldn't go nowhere nowhere

I got St. Louis blues

Just as blue as I can be

My man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea

Or else he wouldn't gone so far from me

I love my man like a schoolboy loves his pie

I love my man like a schoolboy loves his pie

I love that sweet man until the day I die

A blond-headed gay makes a good man leave this town

A blond-headed gay makes a good man leave this town

But a little shout that scolding mama

Make a baby slept is a happy done

As there's a shout that scolding mama

Make a baby slept is a happy done
