St. Louis Blues lyrics

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

If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my trunk and make my getaway

St. Louis woman with all her diamond rings
Pulls that man around by her apron strings,
if it wasn't for her and her fancy hair,
That man of mine wouldn't go nowhere.

I got the St. Louis blues, just as 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 my baby like a school boy loves his pie
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his rock 'n' rye
I'll love my man till the day I die

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