Lyrics

St. Louis

Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie ...

Countrymen, friends, lend me your ears

I'll tell you a tale of 15 years

I'm an ole man and so far gone

I want to see the city where I was born

I've got a feelin' that I can't stand

I want to go back to my home land

Ain't got the money

I ain't got the cents

I can't get on that train, oh 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 movin'

Can't stop now, I've gotta keep movin'

Show me the way to St. Louis

Show me the way

Step up to me, you city kids

I'll shine your shoes for 15 cents

I'll fix your tie, you'll learn to stretch

If you don't mind I'll take cash

Soon, I'll get the money and I'll feel fine

I pack my bags and drink my wine

I only know, I got to go home

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 movin'

Can't stop now, I've gotta keep movin'

Show me the way to St. Louis

Show me the way

Which train goes to St. Louis

You know my heart is there

I know my time's goin' fast

Got to try to raise the fare

Come on people, gotta get movin'

Can't stop now, I've gotta keep movin'

Show me the way to St. Louis

Show me the way. Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie ...

Show me the way to St. Louis

Show me the way

Show me the way to St. Louis

Show me the way, (I wanna go home)

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 mne the way to St. Louis ...
