I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see the evening sun go down
Seems I got a mind, boys, for making a last go round

Feelin' tomorrow just like I feel today
Feel tomorrow just like I feel today
I'm gonna pack my truck, boys, and pack and go back to St. Louis today

St. Louis woman with a diamond ring
I get dragged around like ribbon string
??, no, there's no more here of her hair
That woman in mind, you know she wasn't going nowhere nowhere

I got them St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
St. Louis blues
I'm going ??

Oh I hate to see that evening sun go down
Oh I need that gal of mine
Lord, she's making her last go round
Like a gal has left me
She has left me this time with the saucy St. Louis blues
