Going to Chicago Blues

You keep your New York joy

I'm going to Illinois

Just as fast as I can

You New York women think you make a fool of any man

You play all kind of games and you will cheat if you can

"Use love like a tool and make a man a fool"

What a beautiful motto

But I got my money and that's it

How can you mind if I split, baby?

Going back where a woman knows the way to treat a man

And people are friendly with no hidden plan

It is the best in the midwest

It is a real down city

Full of good folks who come from home

When I get back

I'll never roam far from my little shire town

Goodbye, farewell

Woman, I'm gonna see you later

Going to Chicago

I'm sorry but I can't take you

Going to Chicago

Sorry but I can't take you

There ain't nothing in Chicago

For a monkey woman to do

See me coming, baby

Woman, raise your window high

See me coming, baby

Raise your window high

When you see me passing, woman

Hang your head and cry

Hurry down, sunshine

And let's just see what tomorrow brings

Tomorrow

Hurry down, sunshine

See what tomorrow brings

Sun went down

And tomorrow brought us rain

Woman, you're so mean and evil

You do things you ought not do

To the man that takes care of you

Pays the rent and buys the clothes

You're so mean and evil

You do things you ought not do

When you were home with your father you were cool, baby

But you got my brand of honey

So I guess I'll have to put up with you

Oh, yeah
