Текст пісні
You keep your New York joy, I'm going to Illinois
Just as fast as I can
You New York women think you make a fool of any man
You play all kind of games and you will cheat if you can
Use love like a tool and make a man a fool
What a beautiful model
But I got my money and that's it
How can your mind and mine split?
Going back where a woman knows the way to treat a man
And people are friendly with no hidden plans
It is the best, the Midwest
A real down city full of good folks who come from home
And when I get back, I'll never roam far from my little shytown
Goodbye, farewell
Woman, I'm gonna see you later
Going to Chicago, sorry but I can't take you
Going to Chicago, sorry I can't take you
There's nothing in Chicago a monkey woman can do
You see me coming, baby, raise your window high
See me coming, baby, raise your window high
When you see me passing, woman, hang your head and cry
Hurry down, sunshine, let's see what tomorrow brings
Hurry down, sunshine, let's just see what tomorrow brings
The sun went down and tomorrow brought us rain
And a man with handcuffs, no good, baby
You're so mean and evil
You do things you ought not do, baby
You're so mean and you're evil
You do things you ought not do, baby
But you got my brand of honey
I guess I'll have to put up with you
Going to Chicago, baby
Come on, if you're gonna act right now
