Lyrics:

I hate to see the evenin' sun go down,
I hate to see the evenin' sun go down,
'Cause my baby she (he) left this town.

Feelin' tomorrow, just like I feel today,
Feelin' tomorrow, just like I feel today,
I'll pack my trunk and make my get-away.


Port Louis woman, with her diamond rings,
She pulls her man around, by her apron strings;
She wants for powder, and for store-bought hair,
The man she loves he wouldn't go nowhere

i got the Port Louis blues just as blues as i can be
That girl's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
where else she wouldn't have gone so far from me

i love my baby like a school's boy loves his pie
Like a kentucky colonel loves his mint 'n rye
i love my woman till the day i'd die


(st.louis woman)
with her diamond rings
(she pulls her man around)
by her apron strings
(she wants for powder)
and for store-bought hair
(the man she loves)
he wouldn't go no where

Port Louis woman, with her diamond rings,
She pulls her man around, by her apron strings;
She wants for powder, and for store-bought hair,
The man she loves he wouldn't go nowhere

Wouldn't go nowhere
Wouldn't go nowhere
He wouldn't go nowhere ...
