I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
´Cause my lovin´ baby done left this town

If I feel tomorrow like I feel today

If I feel tomorrow like I feel today
I´m gonna pack my trunk and make my getaway

Oh, that St. Louis woman with her diamond rings
She pulls my man around by her apron strings
And if it wasn´t for powder and her store-bought hair
Oh, that man of mine wouldn´t go nowhere

I got those St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be
Oh, my 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 my man like a schoolboy loves his pie
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his rocker and rye
I´ll love my man until the day I die, Lord, Lord

I got the St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be, Lord, Lord
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 got those St. Louis blues
I got the blues, I got the blues, I got the blues
My man´s got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn´t have gone so far from me, Lord, Lord
