Chorus 1

I hate to see de evenin’ sun go down
Hate see de evenin’ sun go down
’Cause my baby, he done lef dis town

Feelin’ tomorrow lak ah feel today
Feel tomottow lak ah feel today
I’ll pack my trunk, make ma getaway

St. Louis woman wid her diamon’ rings
Pulls dat man roun’ by her apron strings
’Twant for powder an’ for store bought hair
De man I love would not gone nowhere

Got de St. Louis blues jes as blue as ah can be
Dat man got a heart lak a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn’t have gone so far from me (Doggone it!)

I loves dat man lak a school boy loves his pie
Lake a Kentucky col’nel loves his mint and rye
I’ll love ma baby till the day ah die

Chorus 2

Been to de Gypsy to get ma fortune tole
To de Gypsy done got ma fortune tole
’Cause I’m most wile ’bout ma Jelly Roll

Gypsy done tole me "Don’t you wear no black"
Yes she done tole me "Don’t you wear no black"
Go to St. Louis, you can win him back

Help me to Cairo, make St. Louis by maself
Git to Cairo, find ma old friend Jeff
Gwine to pin maself close to his side
If ah flag his train I sho’ can ride

A black headed gal make a freight train jump the track
Said a black headed gal make a freight train jump the track
But a long tall gal makes a preacher ball the Jack

Lawd a blonde woman makes a good man leave the town
I said blonde headed woman makes a good man leave the town
But a red headed woman makes a boy slap his papa down

Chorus 3

You ought to see dat stove-pipe brown of mine
Lak he owns de Dimon Josephine
He’d make a cross-eyed o’man go stone blind

Blacker than midnight teeth lak flags of truce
Blackest man in de whole St. Louis
Blacker de berry, sweeter is the juice

About a crap game he knows a powerful lot
But when worktime comes he’s on de dot
Gwine to ask him for a cold ten spot
What it takes to git it he’s certenly got

Oh ashes to ashes and dust to dust
I said ashes to ashes and dust to dust
If my blues don’t get you my jazzing must
