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 Feelin' 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 i...

It was early one Monday mornin', And I was on my way to school. It was early one Monday mornin', When I was on my way to school. That was the mornin' When I broke my mother's rule. I've been in love with you, baby, Before I learned to call your name. I've been in love with you, baby, Before I learned to call your name.
