Goin’ to Chicago

You keep your New York joys
I'm going to Illinois
Just as fast as I can
I say you New York women think you make a fool of any man
You play all kinds of games And you will cheat if you can
Use love like a tool / Make your man feel like a fool
Huh, that's some slick motto
But I got my money, that's it / I do not think you can mind if I split little honey
I'm going back where a woman really knows the way to treat a man.
And people are friendly without no hidden plan.
It's the best in the Midwest.
It's a real down city full of good folks who come from home.

And when I get back, I will never run on far from my little chi- town
Well goodbye, farewell / I must see you later
Goin' to Chicago.
Sorry but I can't take you
Goin' to Chicago
Look, I'm sorry, but I can't take you
Ha, look, uh, there ain't nothin' in Chicago
For a mean old, cheatin' old girl like you to do
When you see me coming baby, raise your window high
I said when you see me passing baby, woman raise your window high

But when you see me passin' baby

Woman, hang your head and cry.
Yes, say just so and wonder why,
I wonder why you mean and evil
You go strutting around town, make me feel like a clown /
If it's home with your father, he wouldn't do it I said that you are mean and you are evil
You do things you ought not do
Look at here, I pay for the rent, I take care of the clothes, all the food
You play me like a dopey dude
But I have got some brand new money, honey and really. I don't know what to put up with you
I hate your town, I hate you Ah, that's why I got to put you down
Mama, you're just a sly and a mean one
Like a snake, and the first time I've seen one
You find me home, I hand me home
So I'll take my brand new money You and your job just ain't that funny
So I'll take my brand new money You and your job just ain't that funny
Get myself back to where the skies are sunny
chi-town
