I hate to see the ev'nin' Sun go down I hate to see the ev'nin' Sun go down It makes me think I'm on my last go round Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today Feelin’ tomorrow like I feel today I'll pack my dreams and make my getaway St. Louis woman with her diamond rings Pulls that man 'round by her apron strings Powder for powder and this store-bought hair The man I love, wouldn’t gone nowhere, nowhere I got the 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
