Chicago Bound

[Verse 1]
When I left out of Georgia in 1934
My baby she begged "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

[Verse 2]
When I stayed in Memphis in 1939
The woman I was loving she didn't pay me no mind
Then I left that town
You know I left that town
When I left out of Memphis you know I was St. Louis bound

[Verse 3]
I didn't need no steam heat by my bed
The little girl I had kept it cherry red
But I left that town
You know I left that town
When I left St. Louis you know I was Chicago bound

[Verse 4]
I'm gonna tell you something that you all should know
Chicago is the best place I ever know
I'm gonna stay in this town
I'm gonna live in this town
I'm gonna live in Chicago, it's the greatest place around
