St. Louis - The Easybeats

Countrymen, friends, lend me your ears

I’ll tell you a tale of fifteen years

I’m an old man that’s so forlorn

I wanna see the city where I was born

I 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

Come on, people, gotta get grooving

Show me the way to St. Louis

Show me the way

Step up to me, you city gents

And I’ll clean your shoes for fifteen 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

Come on, people, gotta get grooving

Show me the way to St. Louis

Show me the way

Which train goes to Louis

You know I got the fare

I know my time’s coming fast

I got to try to raise the fare

Come on, people, gotta get moving

Come on, people, gotta get grooving

Show me the way to St. Louis

Show me the way

Show me the way to St. Louis

Show me the way

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…
