St. Louis Blues

I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
'Cause my baby, he done left this town

If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
I'm feelin' tomorrow, like I feel today
I'm gonna pack my trunk, gonna make my getaway

St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings
She pulls my man around by her apron strings
If it weren't for powder and her store-bought hair
That man of mine would not have gone nowhere

No, I got the St. Louis blues, 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 schoolboy loves his pie
Like an old Kentucky colonel likes his men and rye
And I love my baby, I'll love him til the day I die

I'm gonna love that man until the day I die
