| I hate to see, that evenin' sun go down
|
| I hate to see, that evenin' sun go down
|
| 'Cause my baby, gone and left this town
|
| Feelin' tomorrow, just like I feel today
|
| If I’m feelin' tomorrow, just like I feel today
|
| I’ll pack my trunk, and make my get away
|
| I went to the Gypsy, to get my fortune told
|
| Yes, I went to the Gypsy, to get my fortune told
|
| I asked the Gypsy, «What does the future hold?»
|
| Gypsy told me, «Don't you wear no black»
|
| The Gypsy told me, «Don't you wear no black»
|
| (No black)
|
| Go to St. Louis, and you can win her back
|
| St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings
|
| Pulls this man around by her apron strings
|
| If it wasn’t for powder and for store-bought hair
|
| That gal I love wouldn’t I’ve gone nowhere, nowhere
|
| I got the St. Louis Blues, just as blue as I can be
|
| 'Cause that gal’s got a heart, like a rock cast in the sea
|
| Or else she wouldn’t have gone so far from me I love that gal like a school boy loves his pie
|
| Like a Kentucky Colonel loves his mint an' his rye
|
| I love that gal, yes I love that gal
|
| Yes, I love that gal until the day I die |
