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 The St. Louis woman with those diamond rings She pulls her man around by the apron strings If it wasn't for powder or the store-brought hair That man of mine, he wouldn't go nowhere, nowhere I got the St. Louis Blues Just as the 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 or the store-brought hair That man of mine, he wouldn't go nowhere, nowhere I got the St. Louis Blues Just as the 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 I'm going back, back to St. Louis I'm going back, back to St. Louis
