Illinois Blues |
| You go to Banglin', tell my boys |
| You go to Banglin', tell my boys |
| What times I’m havin' up in Illinois |
| In Illinois, up in Illinois |
| When I gin2 my little cotton I’m going to sell my seed |
| When I gin my little cotton and sell my seed |
| I’m gonna give my baby, everything she need |
| Everything she need, ev’rything she need |
| I’m gonna give my baby everything she need |
| You know, I been in Texas and I been in Arkansas |
| I been in Texas and I been in Arkansas |
| But I never had a good time till I got to Illinois |
| Up in Illinois, up in Illinois |
| The people will treat you just so-so so'3 |
| You’ll never go back to old Banglin' no more |
| Never no more, never no more |
| I been to Chicago and I been to Detroit |
| I been to Chicago and I been to Detroit |
| But I never had a good time till I got up in Illinois |
| In Illinois, up in Illinois |
| When you go down in Banglin', will you tell my boys |
| When you go down in Banglin', tell my boys |
| What a good time’s a-waitin' up in Illinois |
| Up in Illinois, up in Illinois |
