I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
'Cause my honey, she done left this town
Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my trunk and make my get-a-way
St. Louis people with his diamond rings
Pull the man around, by a apron strings
Now if it wasn't for powder, and for store bought hair
That gal I love, she wouldn't go nowhere, nowhere
Got to St. Louis just as blue as I can be
That gal got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else she wouldn't come so far from me
Gypsy done told me, said don't you wear no black
Yes, she done told me, said don't you wear no black
Just go to St. Louis, says you can win her back
I love that gal like a sweet boy loves his pie
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his rock and rye
I'll love my honey till the day I die
