| I hate to see that evening sun go down I hate to see that evening sun go down
|
| Because my little loved baby he done left this town
|
| If I feel tomorrow like I feel today if I feel tomorrow like I feel today
|
| I’ll pack my bag and make my get away
|
| Oh the St Louis woman with those diamond rings
|
| She pulls her man around by the apron strings
|
| If it wasn’t for powder or that store-brought hair
|
| That man of mine he wouldn’t go nowhere nowhere
|
| I got the St Louis Blues just as bluest I can be I got a man with a heart like a rock cast in the sea
|
| Oh St Louis baby look what you’re doin' to me If it wasn’t for powder…
|
| I’m going back back to St Louis going back back to St Louis
|
| Going back back to St Louis going back back to St Louis |
