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!
