St. Louis Blues

Lyrics

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
