Kansas City Man Blues by Edna Hicks
Performed by
Edna HicksKansas City Man Blues Lyrics
[Verse]
Worried in mind, worried in mind
A certain one I left behind
I'm goin' back and it won't be long
Sorry the day I ever left my home
I'm really tired, I'm really tired
I'm really tired of roamin' round
Soon I will be Kansas City bound
When I get back I'll turn things upside down
[Chorus 1]
Kansas City, where I long to be
Kansas City, where I long to be
Got a Kansas City man that's waitin' there for me
[Chorus 2]
He's got white teeth, two pretty gold crowns
He's got white teeth, two pretty gold crowns
He's got Poro hair, he's a coffee-colored brown
[Chorus 3]
Women cryin', I ain't raised my hand
Women cryin', I ain't raised my hand
And it's all on account of takin' one woman's man
