I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
Cause the man that I love he done left this town
If I’m fellin' tomorrow like I feel today
If I’m fellin' tomorrow like I feel today
I think I'm gonna pack my burl and make my getaway
St. Louis woman with all her diamond ring
Pulls my man around by her apron string
If it wasn’t for the powder and all her store-bought hair
I know that a man I love he wouldn't go nowhere, nowhere
I got those St. Louis blues, blue as I can be,
Cause my man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea,
Or else he wouldn't have, he wouldn't gone gone so far from me.
But I love my man like a schoolboy loves his pie,
Like an old Kentucky colonel loves his rock and rye
And I think I’m gonna love my man until the day I die.

I went to the fortuneteller and I had my fortune tole
I went to the fortuneteller and I had my fortune tole
She said that he would never leave me,
Long as I have this real good jelly roll.
St. Louis woman with all her diamond ring
Pulls my man around by her apron string
If it wasn’t for the powder and all her store-bought hair
I know that a man I love he wouldn't go nowhere, nowhere
I got those St. Louis blues, blue as I can be,
Cause my man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea,
Or else he wouldn't have, he wouldn't gone gone so far from me.

Now I love my man like a schoolboy loves his pie,
Like an old Kentucky colonel loves his rock and rye
And I think I’m gonna love my man until the day I die.
