Abbey Lincoln Y Hank Jones - You Came A Long Way From St Louis Lyrics

[Piano Solo]

[Verse 1]
You came a long way from St. Louis
You climbed the ladder of success
I've seen those town and country cars
That were parked out in front of your fancy address

[Verse 2]
You came a long way from St. Louis
You broke a lotta hearts between
I've met a gang of gloomy gals
Who were doin' alright 'til you came on the scene

[Bridge]
You blew in from the Middle West
And certainly impressed
The population hereabouts
Well, baby, I got news for you
I'm from Missouri too
So naturally I got my doubts

[Verse 3]
You got 'em droppin' by the wayside
A feelin' I ain't gonna know
You came a long way from St. Louis
But baby, you still got a long way to go
[Outro]
You came a long way from St. Louis
But baby, still got a long way to go
