{Album Notes}




 

St. Louis woman, with your diamond rings
St. Louis man, you just, you just don't mean a thing

You came a long way from St. Louis
You climbed the ladder of success
I've seen the town and country cars
Parked out in front of your fancy address, baby

You came a long way from St. Louis
You broke a lot of hearts between
I met a ding of gloomy girls who were doin' all right
Until you came on the scene, Marvin

You blew in from the Middle West
And certainly impressed the population here about
Now listen: I got news for you
I'm from Missouri too
So naturally I got my doubts

You got 'em droppin' by the wayside
A feelin' I ain't gonna know
You came a long way from St. Louis
And you still got a long way to go

Yeah, yeah, yeah
St. Louis woman, with your diamond rings
St. Louis man, you just, you just don't mean a thing

You blew in from the Middle West
And certainly impressed the population here about, yeah
Well baby, I got news for you
I'm from Missouri too
So naturally I got my doubts

You got 'em droppin' by the wayside, yeah
A feelin' I ain't gonna know
You came a long way from St. Louis
But baby, you got a long way to go
You came a long way, you got a long way to go
Get your hat and get your coat, Marvin
Go on back to St. Louis, go on back now
