Chicago Bound (Single Version) Lyrics by Jimmy Rogers

Chicago Bound

1954

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
I'm gonna tell you something that you all should know
Chicago is the best placе I ever know
I'm gon' stay in this town
I'm gon' live in this town
I'm gon' livе in Chicago, it's the greatest place around
