I hate to see the evening sun go down
I hate to see the evening sun go down
It makes me think I'm on my last go round
Feeling tomorrow like I feel today
Feeling tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my crib and make my getaway
(minor)
Saint Louis woman wears a diamond ring
Wears her man around by her apron strings
Wasn't for powder and the store bought hair
The man I love wouldn't go nowhere nowhere
(no quick change on chorus)
I got them St. Louis blues just as blue as I can be
He's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me
