Chicago Bound - Jimmy Rodgers

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

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

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
