[00:39.85]I hate to see that evening sun go down

[00:44.28]＇Cause my lovin＇ baby done left this town
[00:45.34]If I feel tomorrow like I feel today
[00:45.60]If I feel tomorrow like I feel today
[00:45.91]I＇m gonna pack my trunk and make my getaway
[00:46.23]Oh that St Louis woman with her diamond rings
[00:46.53]She pulls my man around by her apron strings
[00:46.85]And if it wasn＇t for powder and her store-bought hair
[00:47.21]Oh that man of mine wouldn＇t go nowhere
[00:47.59]I got those St Louis blues just as blue as I can be
[00:47.97]Oh my man＇s got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
[00:48.47]Or else he wouldn＇t have gone so far from me
[00:48.90]I love my man like a schoolboy loves his pie
[00:49.21]Like a Kentucky colonel loves his rocker and rye
[00:49.53]I＇ll love my man until the day I die Lord Lord
[01:05.97]I got the St Louis blues just as blue as I can be Lord Lord
[01:06.46]That man＇s got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
[01:06.93]Or else he wouldn＇t have gone so far from me

[01:08.58]My man＇s got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
[01:09.08]Or else he wouldn＇t have gone so far from me Lord Lord
