Sweet Home Chicago Songtext
von Johnny Shines

Oh, baby, don′t you want to go?
Oh, baby, don't you want to go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago?

Oh, baby, don′t you want to go?
Oh, baby, don't you want to go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago?

Now one and one is two
Two and two is four
I'm heavy loaded, baby
I′m booked, I gotta go

Crying, baby
Honey, don′t you want to go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago?


Now two and two is four
Four and two is six, you gonna keep
Monkeying 'round here, friend-boy
You gonna get your business all in a trick

But I′m crying, baby
Honey, don't you wanna go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago?

Now six and two is eight
Eight and two is ten
Friend-boy she trick you one time
She sure gonna do it again

But I′m crying, hey, hey
Baby, don't you want to go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago?

I′m going to California
From there to Des Moines, Iowa
Somebody will tell me that you
Need my help someday


Crying, hey, hey
Baby, don't you want to go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago?
