Chicago Bound

Jimmy Rogers

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

Well I stayed in Memphis in 1939
The woman I'd been lovin' she didn't pay me no mind
Then I left that town, you know I left that town
When I left Memphis, you know I was St. Louis bound

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

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
