Going To Chicago Blues |
| You keep your New York Joys |
| I’m going to Illinois |
| Just as fast as I can |
| You New York women think |
| You’ll make a fool of any man |
| Play all kinds of games |
| And you’ll cheat if you can |
| Use love like a tool |
| Make a man a fool |
| What a beautiful motto |
| Got my money, that’s it How can you mind if I split |
| Going back where a woman |
| Really knows the way to treat a man |
| And people are friendly |
| Without no hidden plan |
| It’s the best in the midwest |
| It’s a real darn city full of Good folks who come from home |
| And when I get back |
| I’ll never roam far |
| From my little Chitown |
| Goodbye, farewell |
| I might see you later |
| Going to Chicago |
| Sorry but I can’t take you |
| I come from Chitown |
| Going back to my town |
| Going to Chicago |
| Sorry but I can’t take you |
| No use in crying |
| Tired of your lying |
| There ain’t nothing in Chicago |
| That a monkey woman can do I got to quit you |
| Can’t make it with you |
| When you see me coming, baby |
| Raise your window high |
| Hide your window to the sky, yeah |
| When you see me coming, baby |
| Raise your window high |
| Catch me passing on the fly, yeah |
| But when you see me passing, baby |
| Hang your head and cry |
| Search your soul and |
| Wonder why, yeah |
| Hurry, hurry down sunshine |
| And see what tomorrow brings |
| Tomorrow, tomorrow |
| Hurry, hurry, hurry down sunshine |
| And see what tomorrow brings |
| Tomorrow, tomorrow |
| Well, the sun went down |
| And tomorrow brought us rain |
| Tomorrow brought sorrow |
| You’re so mean and evil |
| You do things you ought not do My, you’re a mean one |
| First time I’ve seen one |
| You’re so mean and evil |
| You do things you ought not do You used to be cool |
| Now find a new fool |
| Got my brand of honey |
| But I won’t have to Put up with you |
| Hate you and your town |
| That’s why I got |
| To put you down |
| Goodbye |
