The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You came a long way from St. Louis, you climbed the ladder of success,

I've seen the 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 seen a gang of gloomy gals who were doing alright till you came on the scene.

You came here from the middle west, and certainly impressed the population hereabouts.

Well, baby, I got news for you, I'm from Missouri too.

So natcherly I got my doubts, you got `em dropping by the wayside,

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.
