June Christy - You Came a Long Way From St. Louis lyrics

You came a long way from St. Louis You climbed the ladder of success I've seen the flashy foreign cars That were parked out in front of Your fancy address! You came a long way from St. Louis You broke a lot of hearts between I've met a gang of gloomy guys Who were doin' all right 'Till you came on the scene! You blew in from the middle-west And certainly impressed The population here-abouts Well baby, I got news for you I'm from Missouri too So, naturally, I got my doubts! You got 'em droppin' by the way-side A feelin' I ain't gonna know You came a long way from St. Louis But baby, you still got a long way to go! My, how you come up! Hmmm, you really come on! Instrumental break Hey, I'll have your address! St. Louis woman You're a St. Louis doll! You blew in from the middle-west And certainly impressed The population here-abouts Well baby, I've got news for you I'm from Missouri too So, naturally, I got my doubts! You got 'em droppin' by the way-side A feelin' I ain't gonna know You came a long way from St. Louis But baby, you still got a long way to go! You left St. Louis far behind Keep this little thought in mind You still, got a long way to go!
