'Cause my baby, she left this town
Feelin' tomorrow just like I feel today
The man she loves, he wouldn't go nowhere
Wouldn't go nowhere
She pulls her man around by her apron strings
She wants for powder and for store-bought hair
Wouldn't go nowhere
St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings
She pulls her man around by her apron strings
St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings
The man she loves wouldn't go nowhere
She wants for powder and for store-bought hair
I'll pack my trunk and make my getaway
Feelin' tomorrow just like I feel today
