St. Louis Blues

Lyrics

I hate to see the evening sun go down
 Hate to see the evening sun go down
 'Cause my baby, he's done left this town
 Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
 Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
 I'm gonna pack my trunk
 Make my getaway
 (St. Louis woman with her diamond rings)
 (Pulls a man around by her apron strings)
 Weren't for powder and her store-bought hair
 The man I love, wouldn't have gone nowhere
 Got the St. Louis blues just as blue as I can be
 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 love that man like a school boy loves his pie
 Like a Kentucky colonel loves his mint and rye
 I love my baby (love my baby)
 Till the day I die (till the day I die)
