Chicago Bound

When I left out of Georgia in 1934
My baby, she begged me, "Daddy, please don't go"

But I left that town
You know I left that town
When I left out of Georgia
You know I was Memphis bound

When I stayed in Memphis in 1939
The woman I was lovin'
Wouldn't pay me no mind

I left that town
I had to leave that town
When I left West Memphis
You know I was St. Louis bound

I didn't need no steam heat by my bed
The little girl I had she kept it cherry red

I left that town
I had to leave that town
I left in St. Louis
You know I was Chicago bound

I'm gonna tell you something that you all should know
Chicago is the greatest place I'd ever know

That's why I like that town
I wanna live in that town
I'm gonna live in Chicago, it's the greatest place in town
Let get out of here
