St. Louis Blues

I hate to see the evening sun go down
Yes, I hate to see the evening sun go down
'Cause the girl I love, she done left this town
If I'm feeling tomorrow like I feel today
Yes, if I'm feeling tomorrow like I feel today
I'm gonna pack my bags and make my getaway

Now the St. Louis woman with the diamond rings
Leads her man around by her apron strings
If it wasn't for the powder and the store-bought hair
That girl of mine, she wouldn't go nowhere, nowhere

Yes, I love my baby, tell the world I do
Yes, I love my baby, tell the world I do
When you see my baby, you will love her too

Here comes my baby, I can tell by the way she walks
Here comes my baby, I can tell by the way she walks
When she gets a little closer, I can tell by the way she talks

I got the St. Louis blues (I got the St. Louis blues)
I got the St. Louis blues (I got the St. Louis blues)
I got the St. Louis blues (I got the St. Louis blues)
I got the St. Louis blues (I got the St. Louis blues)
I got the St. Louis blues, too doggone mean to cry

Yes, I've got the St. Louis blues (I got the St. Louis blues)
I got the St. Louis blues (I got the St. Louis blues)
Yes, I've got the St. Louis blues (I got the St. Louis blues)
I got the St. Louis blues (I got the St. Louis blues)
I got the St. Louis blues, too doggone mean to cry
