I hate to see that evening sun go down I hate to see that evening sun go down

Cause my baby she done left this town

I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today

I'm gonna pack my grip and make my getaway

(St Louis woman with her diamond ring) pull that man around (by the apron strings)

Twant for powder and for that store bought hair

Well that girl I love she wouldn't have gone nowhere (nowhere)

I got the St Louis Blues just blue as I can be

That girl got a heart like a rock cast in the sea

Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me

Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me
