hate to see that evening sun go down 
I hate to see that evening sun go down 
Because my little loved baby 
He done left this town 
If I feel tomorrow like I feel today 
If I feel tomorrow like I feel today 
I'll pack my bag and 
Make my get away 

The St.Louis woman with those diamond rings 
She pulls her man around by the apron strings 
If it wasn't for powder or the store-brought hair 
That man of mine, he wouldn't go nowhere, nowhere 
I got the St.Louis Blues 
Just as the bluest I can be 
I got a man with a heart like a rock cast in the sea 
Oh St.Louis baby 
Look what you're doin' to me 

If it wasn't for powder or the store-brought hair 
That man of mine, he wouldn't go nowhere, nowhere 
I got the St.Louis Blues 
Just as the bluest I can be 
I got a man with a heart like a rock cast in the sea 
Oh St.Louis baby 
Look what you're doin' to me 
I'm going back, back to St.Louis 
I'm going back, back to St.Louis
