I hate to see the ev'nin' sun go down

I hate to see the ev'nin' sun go down

It makes me think of all my left go 'round

Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today

Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today

I'll pack my trunk and make my getaway

St louis woman with her diamond rings

Pulls my man around by her apron strings

Wasn't for powder and his store bought hair

The man I love wouldn't go nowhere nowhere

I got the st louis blues just as blue as I can be

Got he's a heart like a rock cast in the sea

Or else he wouldn't have gone far so from me
