Lyrics Chicago Monkey Many Blues #1 - Ida Cox

Chicago Monkey Many Blues #1

I’m goin’to Chicago, sorry but I can’t take you
Yes I’m goin’to Chicago, sorry but I can’t take you
Cause there’s nothin’on State Street, that a monkey man can do
I’ve got a monkey man here, a monkey man over there (2x)
If monkey men were money, I’d be a Chicago millionaire
I’ve got fourteen men now, I only want one more
I’ve got fourteen men now, and I only want one more
As soon as I can get one, I’ll let these fourteen go Now I’m goin’tell you, like the day goes so must you (2x)
When you nobody no money, mama can no usin’you
I can take my monkey men, and stand them all in line (2x)
Anybody can count them, one two three four five six seven eight timesIda Cox
