I hate I hate to see the sun go down I hate to see that evening sun go down 'Cause the man I love, he done left the town But if I feel If I feel tomorrow like I feel today If I feel tomorrow like I feel today I'll pack my trunk and make my getaway I'm St. Louis woman got on diamond rings Got my heart around, all around my apron strings Well, if it wasn't for powder and the store-bought hair That man of mine, nowhere, nowhere Blues, blue as I can be Heart like a rock in that deep blue sea I know my man is still in love with me I love him, like a school boy loves his pie Like an ol' Kentucky Colonel loves his little rock and rye Love him 'til the day I die I need lovin', I need lovin' bad Oh, I need lovin', I need lovin' bad The last he gave me was so short Made me mad but he made me give it up He made me give it up Oh, we rock, we rock by the clock And after the clock stopped, kept on rockin' I may look stiff but baby I'm not so old I may look stiff but brother I'm not so old Had ol' daddy last night sing salvation to my soul He said, "Give it up" "Hand it here" So I told him to get it and kinda Get with it, get in the house, get it And he forgot it But I made him remember and you never seen a man remember so much Made think it's well, maybe it wasn't Couldn't be but-, so well I told him, "Bye-bye, bye-bye" I'm going way back home Way back home Goodbye St. Louis, goodbye
