Got the time, got no money
Still, you know I'd like to see my honey
But, baby's in St. Louis
St. Louis is a long way away
Hello, operator
Connect me now, I'll pay you later
'Cause, baby's in St. Louis
St. Louis is a long way away
Got no job, can't work steady
When my baby calls, I get all ready
But, baby's in St. Louis
St. Louis is a long way away
