Just Blew in from Windy City |
I just blew in from the windy city |
The windy city is mighty purty |
But they ain’t got what we got |
No, sirree |
They’ve got shacks up to seven stories |
Never see any morning glories |
But a step from our doorway |
We got 'em for free |
They’ve got those minstrel shows |
Purty ladies in the big chapeaus |
Private lawns, public parks |
For the sake of civic virtue |
They’ve got fountains there that squirt you |
I just blew in from the windy city |
The windy city is mighty purty |
But they ain’t got what we got |
I’m tellin' ya, boys |
We got more life in Deadwood City |
Than in all of Illinois |
You should-a seen me a-winder shoppin' |
A-winder shoppin' with eyes a-poppin' |
At the sights that you see there, yes sirree |
Press a bell and a moment later |
Up you go in an elevator |
Just as fast as a polecat a-climbin' a tree |
I heard claim hundreds came |
To a thing they call a baseball game |
Cigar stores, revolving doors |
They’ve got new inventions coming |
'Stead of outdoor, indoor plumbing |
I just blew in from the windy city |
The windy city is mighty purty |
But they ain’t got what we got |
I’m tellin' ya, boys |
I ain’t a-swappin' half of Deadwood |
For the whole of Illinois |
