Lyrics St. Louis Blues: The St. Louis Blues - Bessie Smith

I hate to see the evening sun go down
I hate to see the evening sun go down
It makes me think I'm on my last go 'round
Feeling tomorrow like I feel today
Feeling tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my grip and make my getaway
St. Louis woman with her diamond rings
Pulls that man around by her apron strings
Wasn't for powder and the store-bought hair
The man I love wouldn't go nowhere, nowhere
I got them St. Louis Blues, just as blue as I can be
He's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me
