I hate to see that evening sun go down I hate to see that evening sun go down Since that woman of mine done left this town
I got the Saint Louis blues, Lord, blue, blue as I can be You know that woman got a heart like a rock cast in the sea I got the Saint Louis blues, Lord, this is plain to see
If I feel tomorrow the way I feel today If I feel tomorrow the way I feel today I'm gonna pack up my bags, yeah, and make my getaway
If it weren't for her powder and all her stovepipe hair If it weren't for that powder and her peroxide hair You know the woman I love could not have gone nowhere
I got the Saint Louis blues, Lord, just as blue as I can be That woman got a heart like a rock cast in the sea I got the Saint Louis blues, Lord, as you can plainly see
I got the Saint Louis blues, Lord, blue, blue as I can be That woman got a heart like a rock cast in the sea I got the Saint Louis blues, Lord, this is plain to see
I hate to see that evening sun go down I hate to see that evening sun go down Since that woman of mine done left this town.
