Lyrics

Goin' to Chicago, sorry but I can't take you
Goin' to Chicago, baby, but I just can't take you
There ain't nothin' in Chicago that a monkey woman like you can do
When you see me comin', baby, raise your window high
When you see me comin', baby, raise your window high
And when I pass by, baby, hang your head down and cry
You're losin' a good man, baby, I've done so much for you
You're losin' a good man, baby, I've done so much for you
But that's all over, there's no more that I'm gonna do
Look out Chicago, here I come
There's no need to cry, baby, I won't be back no more
There ain't no need to cry, mama, 'cause your daddy won't be back no more
You made me feel so lonely, I'm walking right out that door
Goodbye, bye baby, I hope you make it alright
Goodbye, bye baby, I hope you make it alright
I know you're gonna miss me, girl, when it's cold at night
I won't be back no more, baby, it's all over now
I won't be back no more, baby, it's all over now
Goodbye baby, I hope you make it somehow
Look out Chicago, here I come, yeah
