I hate's to see dat ev'nin' sun go down
Hate's to see dat ev'nin' sun go down
Cause ma baby she done lef' dis town
If I feel tomorrow lak ah feel today
Feel tomorrow lak ah feel today
I'll pack up my trunk and make ma git away
Saint louis woman wid her diamon' rings
Pulls dat man 'roun' by her apron strings
'twern't for powder an' her store bought hair
De man she love wouldn't gone nowhere nowhere
Got dem saint louis blues I'm as blue as ah can be
Like a man done throwed that rock down into de sea
Got dem saint louis blues I'm as blue as ah can be
Went to de gypsy get her fortune tole
To de gypsy done got her fortune tole
Cause she most wile 'bout her jelly roll
Now dat gypsy tole her don't you wear no black
She done tole her don't you wear no black
Go to saint louis you can win him back
