Abbey Lincoln - You Came A Long Way From St. Louis lyrics

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
