St. Louis Blues (with Benny Carter & His All Star Orchestra) - Take 1

I hate to see that evening sun go down
 I hate to see that evening sun go down
 'Cause my baby, he's done left this town
 Feeling tomorrow like I feel today
 If I'm feeling tomorrow like I feel today
 I'll pack my trunk, make my get-a-way
 St. Louis woman with her diamond rings
 Pulls that man around by her apron strings
 If it wasn't for powder and her store-bought hair
 That man I love wouldn't have gone nowhere, nowhere
 I've got the St. Louis Blues
 Blue 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 man like a school boy loves his pie
 Like a Kentucky colonel loves his mint an' rye
 I'll love my baby 'til the day I die
