W.c. handy

I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
’cause, my baby, he’s gone left this town
Fellin’ tomorrow like i feel today
If i’m feelin’ tomorrow like i feel today
I’ll pack my truck and make my give-a-way

St. louis woman with her diamond ring
Pulls that man around by her
If it wasn’t for her and her
That man i love would have gone nowhere, nowhere
I got the st. louis blues
Blues as i can be
That man’s got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn’t have gone so far from me

I love my baby like a school boy loves his pie
Like a kentucky colonel loves his mint’n rye
I love my man till the day i die
