Goin' to St. Louis

I'm going to St. Louis just to walk my baby home
And I hold her in my arms so happily
Cause she'll be waiting there with her rusty colored hair
Empty-handed by the river just for me

I'm going to St. Louis just to walk my baby home
And I hold her in my arms so happily
Just to see that she's not glum won't be lonesome when I come
Just to take her from this state of misery

I'm going to St. Louis just to see the river shine
Just to whisper in her ear and see her smile
And when I get to her place put my fingers to her face
We'll go walking through the country for a while

She knows that'll come she knows that I care
She knows in the morning I'll be there

I'm going to St. Louis just to walk my baby home
And I hold her in my arms so happily
Just to see that she's not glum won't be lonesome when I come
Just to take her from this state of misery
Just to take her from this state of misery
Just to take her from this state of misery
