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