St. Louis Lyrics By The Easybeats

    whoa yeah

    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 stlouis
    show me the way
    show me the way to stlouis
    show me the way
    come on people gotta get moving
    come on people gotta get grooving
    show me the way to stlouis
    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 stlouis
    show me the way
    show me the way to stlouis
    show me the way
    come on people gotta get moving
    come on people gotta get grooving
    show me the way to stlouis
    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 stlouis
    show me the way
    show me the way to stlouis
    show me the way

    louis louis louis louis
    louis louis louis louis

    show me the way to stlouis
    show me the way
    show me the way to stlouis
    show me the way
    show me the way to stlouis
    show me the way
