Goin’ To Chicago Blues

Count Basie, Jimmy Rushing

[Verse 1]
Goin' to Chicago, sorry but I can't take you
Goin' to Chicago, baby, but I just can't take you
There ain't nothin' in Chicago that a monkey woman like you can do

[Verse 2]
When you see me comin', baby, raise your window high
When you see me comin', baby, raise your window high
And when I pass by, baby, hang your head down and cry

[Verse 3]
You're losin' a good man, baby, I've done so much for you
You're losin' a good man, baby, I've done so much for you
But that's all over, there's no more that I'm gonna do
Look out Chicago, here I come

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
There's no need to cry, baby, I won't be back no more
There ain't no need to cry, mama, 'cause your daddy won't be back no more
You made me feel so lonely, I'm walking right out that door

[Verse 5]
Goodbye, bye baby, I hope you make it alright
Goodbye, bye baby, I hope you make it alright
I know you're gonna miss me, girl, when it's cold at night

[Verse 6]
I won't be back no more, baby, it's all over now
I won't be back no more, baby, it's all over now
Goodbye baby, I hope you make it somehow

[Outro]
Look out Chicago, here I come, yeah
