Baby Don't You Want To Go

Now, did ya get that letter

Dropped in yo' backyard?

I wants to come to see you

Yo' best man got me barred

Cry, ooh-ooo!

Baby, don't you want to go?

To that land Californ', sweet old Chicago

Now, I don't drink because I'm dry

I drink because I'm blue

The reason I drink, pretty mama

Now, I can't get 'long wit you

Mmm-mm-mm

Baby, don't you want to go?

Yeah

To that land a Californ', sweet old Chicago

Now, look-a-here, baby

Don't have t'tell you know mo'

You can get my lovin'

If you just let him go

Cry, ooh

'Playin' me a long shout'

Baby, don't you want to go-oooh?

To that land a Californ', sweet old Chicago

'Planned on May'

(guitar)

Yes, yes

Yeah!

Yes, yes

'Yeah, June or May'

Hmm-mmm

Baby, don't you wanna go?

Yeah-hey

Hmm-mmm

Baby, don't you wanna go?

'Go where?'

To that land of Californ', sweet old Chicago

Yeah!

Now, my-my mama tol' me

Papa, startin' to cry

Son, 'You're too young-a man

To have them women yo' side

She cried, 'Look-a-here, babe

I know you wants to go'

To that land of Californ', sweet old Chicago

Oh, be-be-be-ba

Kee-da-da-da.
