You Came A Long Way From St. Louis

You Came A Long Way From St. Louis - Abbey Lincoln (艾比·林肯)/Hank Jones

Written by：Bob Russell/John Benson Brooks

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

You came a long way from st louis

You broke a lotta hearts between

I've never gang of gloomy gals who were doing alright

Till you came on the scene

You bloom him from the middle west

And certainly impressed the population here abouts

Well baby I got news for you

I'm from missouri too

So natcherly I got my doubts

You got 'em dropping by the way side

A feeling I ain't gonna know

You came a long way from st louis

But baby you still got a long way to go

You came a long way from st louis

But baby you still got a long way to go
