[Verse 1]
I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
Because my little loved baby he done left this town
[Verse 2]
If I feel tomorrow like I feel today (Feeling tomorrow)
If I feel tomorrow like I feel today (Feeling tomorrow)
I'll pack my bag and make my get away
[Verse 3]
Oh the St Louis woman with those diamond rings
She pulls her man around by the apron strings
If it wasn't for powder or that store-brought hair
That man of mine he wouldn't go nowhere nowhere
[Verse 4]
I got the St. Louis Blues just as bluest I can be
I got a man with a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Oh St Louis baby look what you're doin' to me
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
If it wasn't for powder or that store-brought hair
That man of mine he wouldn't go nowhere nowhere
[Verse 4]
I got the St. Louis Blues just as bluest I can be
I got a man with a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Oh St Louis baby look what you done to me
[Outro]
I'm going back back to St. Louis
Going back back to St. Louis
Going back back to St. Louis
Going back back to St. Louis
Going back to St. Louis
I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
Because my little loved baby he done left this town
[Verse 2]
If I feel tomorrow like I feel today (Feeling tomorrow)
If I feel tomorrow like I feel today (Feeling tomorrow)
I'll pack my bag and make my get away
[Verse 3]
Oh the St Louis woman with those diamond rings
She pulls her man around by the apron strings
If it wasn't for powder or that store-brought hair
That man of mine he wouldn't go nowhere nowhere
[Verse 4]
I got the St. Louis Blues just as bluest I can be
I got a man with a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Oh St Louis baby look what you're doin' to me
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
If it wasn't for powder or that store-brought hair
That man of mine he wouldn't go nowhere nowhere
[Verse 4]
I got the St. Louis Blues just as bluest I can be
I got a man with a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Oh St Louis baby look what you done to me
[Outro]
I'm going back back to St. Louis
Going back back to St. Louis
Going back back to St. Louis
Going back back to St. Louis
Going back to St. Louis
