Well, I hate to see
That evening sun going down
I hate to see
That evening sun
Going down, son
That good gal of mine
She done up and left this town
All right
Well, I've got the St. Louis blues
Just as blue as I can be
Oh, that woman's got a heart
Like a rock in the deep blue sea
Or else she would not
She would not have gone so far from me
St. Louis woman
With all your diamond rings
You lead a good man every hour
By your apron strings
Well, now if it wasn't by your powder
All that store bought hair
Well, then woman you know
You wouldn't have gone nowhere
You wouldn't have gone
That's right
I've got the St. Louis blues
Just as blue as I can be
Oh, that woman's got a heart
Like a rock in the deep blue sea
Or else she would not
Have gone so far from me
Yeah, if I'm feeling tomorrow
Just like I feel today
Now girl, if I'm feeling tomorrow
Just like I feel today
Then I'm gonna pack up all my bags
Take my bags and make my getaway
Whoa, I have got the St. Louis blues
Just as blue as I can be
Oh, that woman's got a heart
Like a rock in the deep blue sea
