Chicago Is Just That Way Lyrics by Eddie Boyd

The Complete Recordings 1947-1950

1949

This is my story about Chicago
I learned it all one day
Your best friend will deceive you
He'll steal you gal away-hey
Believe what I'll tell you
Every word I'll say
Don't expect nothing different
Chicago is just that way
I used to have a friend
I will let him wear my clothes
He got sweet on my gal
She gave him all my goals
Believe what I'll tell you
Every word I'll say
Don't expect nothing different
Chicago is just that way
The other night while cruisin'
Down the avеnue
I caught them hugging and kissing
Like shе and I used to do
Believe what I'll tell you
Every word I'll say
Don't expect nothing different
Chicago is just that way
I walk over to the table
This is what I had to say
You can have her ol' man
But you both should be dead
Believe what I'll tell you
Every word I'll say
Don't expect nothing different
Chicago is just that way
