Oh, I hate to see the ev′nin' sun go down
Way, way, way, way down, I hate to see the ev′nin' sun go down
You give me fever just because my baby, he has gone and left this town

If I'm feelin′ tomorrow just like I feel today
Goin′ home tomorrow, if I'm feelin′, feelin' feelin′ tomorrow
Just like I feel, I feel today
I'm gonna pack my trunk and make my getaway

St. Louis woman with all her diamond rings
Pulls that man round by her apron strings
If it wants him for powder an′ for store bought hair
The man I love wouldn't have gone nowhere, nowhere

Got the St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
Got the St. Louis blues, blue as I can be

My man got a heart like a rock cast in the deepest sea
He may be your man, but he comes up to see me sometime
Yes, he may be your man, but he comes up to see me sometime
Lives six flights up, and that man he sure love to climb

Wouldn't give a blind sparrow an acorn
Wouldn′t give a crippled crab a crutch
Give a blind sparrow an acorn
Give a crippled crab a crutch
Ain′t gonna give you nothing
'Cause you think you′re such a much and much

Guess these people wonder what I'm singing
Guess me wonder what I′m swinging
Believe it or not, it's the St. Louis blues

If you were to need a friend, send for me
Yeah, ′cause I, I be there where you want me to be
Only you can take the side of my...

Got the St. Louis, got the St. Louis
Got the blues, I got the blues, got the blues, blue as I can be

Mississippi river, long, deep and wide
I got to meet my sweet man on the other side
Take me back to St. Louis, back to St. Louis
Got the St. Louis Blues, just as blue as I, ooh, as I can be

Vocal

St. Louis Blues (Live In Rome/1958)

Oh, I hate to see the ev'nin' sun go down

Way, way, way, way down, I hate to see the ev'nin' sun go down

You give me fever just because my baby, he has gone and left this town

verse

If I'm feelin' tomorrow just like I feel today

Goin' home tomorrow, if I'm feelin', feelin' feelin' tomorrow

I'm gonna pack my trunk and make my getaway

St. Louis woman with all her diamond rings

Pulls that man round by her apron strings

If it wants him for powder an' for store bought hair

The man I love wouldn't have gone nowhere, nowhere

Got the St. Louis blues, blue as I can be

chorus

My man got a heart like a rock cast in the deepest sea

He may be your man, but he comes up to see me sometime

Yes, he may be your man, but he comes up to see me sometime

Lives six flights up, and that man he sure love to climb

'Cause you think you're such a much and much

Guess these people wonder what I'm singing

Believe it or not, it's the St. Louis blues

If you were to need a friend, send for me

Yeah, 'cause I, I be there where you want me to be

Got the blues, I got the blues, got the blues, blue as I can be

I got to meet my sweet man on the other side

Take me back to St. Louis, back to St. Louis

Got the St. Louis Blues, just as blue as I, ooh, as I can be
