[Verse 1]
I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
Because the woman I'm loving, she has left this town
I'm feeling tomorrow just like I feel today
If I'm feeling tomorrow just like I feel today
I'm going to pack my bags and make a getaway

St. Louis woman without your diamond ring
If you didn't have good looks, you wouldn't mean a thing
If it was not for powder and your super hair
Without the man who loves you, you wouldn't get nowhere, nowhere

[Chorus]
I got the St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
I got the St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
You know I love you, but you don't care for me

[Chorus]
I got the St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
I got the St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
You know I love you, but you don't care for me
I got the St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
