This is one of the first tunes we worked out together. This song was written in 1914 (not 1917 as we had thought) and is one of the all time best sellers of sheet music. This arrangement was influenced by Jim and Bob & the Genial Hawaiians.
- I hate to see that evening sun go down
- Wo-wo, I hate to see that evening sun go down
- ‘Cause that man of mine, he’s up and left this town
-
- If I feel tomorrow like I feel today
- Oh, If I feel tomorrow like I feel today
- I’m going to pack my grip and make my getaway
-
- St. Louis woman, with all her diamond rings
- Pulls that man around by her apron strings
- If it weren’t for powder and all that store-bought hair
- That man of mine wouldn’t have gone so far from care
-
- I’ve got the St Louis Blues, I’m blue as I can be
- ‘Cause that man’s got a heart like a rock down in the sea
- Or he wouldn’t have gone so doggone far from me
-
- Repeat from “St Louis... to end)
