I hate to see de evenin' sun go down, Hate to see de evenin' sun go down 'Cause ma baby, he done lef dis town.
Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today, Feel tomorrow like I feel today, I'll pack my trunk, make ma git away.
Saint Louis woman wid her diamon' rings Pulls dat man'roun'by her apron strings. 'Twant for powder an'for store-bought hair, De man ah love would not gone nowhere, nowhere.
Got de Saint Louis Blues jes as blue as ah can be. That man got a heart lak a rock cast in the sea. Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me.
