I hate to see that evening sun go down,
C7GG
I hate to see that evening sun go down,
D7C7GD7
'Cause my lovin' baby done left this town.
GC7GG7
If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today,
C7GG
If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today,
D7C7GD7
I'm gonna pack my trunk and make my getaway.

Oh, that St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings,
GmGmD7
She pulls my man around by her apron strings,
GmD7D7
And if it wasn't for powder and her store-bought hair,
GmA7D7
Oh, that man of mine wouldn't go nowhere.
GC7GG7
I got those St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be,
C7GG
Oh, my man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea,
D7C7GD7
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me.
GC7GG7
I love my man like a schoolboy loves his pie,
C7GG
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his rocker and rye
D7C7GD7
I'll love my man until the day I die, Lord, Lord.
GC7GG7
I got the St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be, Lord, Lord!
C7GG
That man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea,
D7C7GD7
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me.
GC7
I got those St. Louis blues, I got the blues
GG7
I got the blues,
C7GG
My man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea,
D7C7GD7G
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me
