St. Louis Songtext
von Little River Band

Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis
Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis
Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis
Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis

Countrymen, friends, lend me your ears
I′ll tell you a tale of 15 years
I'm an old man that′s so forlorn
I wanna see the city where I was born

I've got a feeling that I can't stand
I wanna go home to my homeland
Ain′t got no money, I ain′t got a cent
I can't get on that train to help me


Show me the way to St. Louis
Show me the way
Show me the way to St. Louis
Show me the way
Come on, people, gotta get moving
Can′t stop now, I gotta get moving
Show me the way to St. Louis
Show me the way

Step up to me, you city gents
And I'll shine your shoes 15 cents
I′ll fix your tie, you'll look a smash
If you don′t mind, I'll take the cash

Soon I'll get the money and I′ll feel fine
To pack my bags and drink my wine
I only know I got to go home
The good Lord told me so, so help me

Show me the way to St. Louis
Show me the way
Show me the way to St. Louis
Show me the way
Come on, people, gotta get moving
Can′t stop now, I gotta get moving
Show me the way to St. Louis
Show me the way


Which train goes to Louis?
You know my heart is there
I know my time's going fast
I got to try to raise the fare

Come on, people, gotta get moving
Can′t stop now, I gotta get moving
Show me the way to St. Louis
Show me the way

Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis
Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis
Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis
Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis

Show me the way to St. Louis
Show me the way
Show me the way to St. Louis
Show me the way
Show me the way to St. Louis
Show me the way
(Show me the way)
Show me the way to St. Louis
Show me the way

Show me the way to St. Louis
Show me the way to St. Louis
Show me the way to St. Louis
Show me the way to St. Louis

Show me the way to St. Louis
Show me the way
