St. Louis Blues

I hate to see that evenin' sun go down

I hate to see that evenin' sun go down

'Cause my baby has left this town

If I'm feelin' tomorrow just like I feel today

If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today

I'll pack my trunk and make my getaway

St. Louis woman with all her diamond rings

Stole that man of mine by her apron strings

If it wasn't for powders and her store-bought hair

That man I love wouldn't have gone nowhere, nowhere

I've got the St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be

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

Gee, I love that man like a schoolboy loves his eye

Just like an old Kentucky colonel loves his rock and rye

I guess I'll love that man until the day I die
