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

If I'm feelin' tomorrow just like I feel today
If I'm feelin' tomorrow just like I feel today
I'll pack my trunk and make my get away

St. Louis woman
With all her diamond rings
She pulls me around
By her apron strings.

Well if it wasn't for powder
And her store-bought hair
Oh, that gal that I love
She wouldn't go nowhere.

I got those St. Louis blues
just as blue as I can be
Oh, that girl's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me.

Oh well I love that woman like a schoolboy loves his pie
Oh well I love that woman like a schoolboy loves his pie
And I'll love my baby, until the day I die
