St. Louis Lyrics - Little River Band

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 me the way to St. Louis
