Lyrics
Country men, friends, lend me your ears
I'll tell you a tale of 15 years
I'm an old man and so far along
I wanna see the city where I was born
I got the feeling I can't stand
Gotta get home to my homeland
Ain't got no money, I ain't got a cent
I can't get on that train, so help me
Show me the way to St. Louis, show me the way (oh, I gotta get home)
Show me the way to St. Louis (I gotta get home) show me the way
Come on baby, gotta get moving
Can't stop, gotta keep moving
Show me the way to St. Louis show me the way (yeah)
Step up to me, you city gents
And I'll clean your shoes for 15 cents
I'll fix your tie, you look a smash
If you don't mind I'll take the cash
Soon I got the money and I can ride
So pack my bags and I'll drink my wine
I only know I've got to track down home
The good Lord told me so, so help me
Show me (show me) the way to St. Louis (together, show me)
Show me the way (oh, I gotta get home)
Show me the way to St. Louis, (I gotta get home) show me the way
Come on baby, gotta get moving
Can't stop, I gotta keep moving
Show me the way to St. Louis, (you gotta) show me the way
Come on, come on, come on
Come on people, gotta get moving (gotta get moving)
Can't stop now, I gotta keep moving
Show me, show me the way
Show me, show me the way
Show me, show me the way (you gotta show me)
Show me, show me the way
(You gotta show me) show me (the way) show me the way
(You gotta show me) show me (the way) show me the way
(I gotta get) show me (I gotta get) show me the way
(I gotta get) show me (I gotta get) show me the way
(I've come a long way) show me the way to St. Louis (I've come a long way)
Show me the way (I said I gotta, gotta get going) show me, show me
Show me the way (oh, Lord)
Show me, show me the way
Show me, show me the way
Show me, show me the way
