Chicago Bound

Well, I left out of Georgia 1964

My baby begged me: 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 1969

That woman I loved didn't pay me no mind

So 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

Lady I slept with kept it cherry red

Well, I left that town, hmm, I left that town

When I left St. Louis, you know I was Chicago bound

I'm gonna tell you something you oughta know

Chicago's the best place I ever knowed

I'm-a stay in this town, I'm-a live in this town

Chicago's the place, it's the baddest place around
