I Didnt Know About You
I wen t around with my own little croud
The usual laughs,
not often but loud
And in the world that I knew
I Didn't know about you.
Chasing after the ring on the merry-go-round
Just taking my fun where it
could be found
And yet what else could I do
I Didn't know about you.
Darling, now I know
I had the loneliest yesterday;
Ev'ry day
In your
arms I know for once in my life;
I'm living
Had a good time ev'ry time I
went out
Romance was the thing I kidded about
How could I know about love
I didn't know about you.
Going To Chicago Blues
You keep your New York Joys
I'm going to Illinois
Just
as fast as I can
You New York women think
You'll make a fool of any man
Play all kinds of games
And you'll cheat if you can
Use love like a tool
Make a man a fool
What a beautiful
motto
Got my money, that's it
How can you mind if I split
Going back where a woman
Really knows the way to treat a
man
And people are friendly
Without no hidden plan
It's the best in the midwest
It's a real darn city full of
Good folks who come from home
And when I get back
I'll never roam far
From my little
Chitown
Goodbye, farewell
I might see you later
Going to Chicago
Sorry but I can't take you
I come from
Chitown
Going back to my town
Going to Chicago
Sorry but I can't take you
No use in
crying
Tired of your lying
There ain't nothing in Chicago
That a monkey woman can do
I got to quit you
Can't make it with you
When you see me coming, baby
Raise your window high
Hide
your window to the sky, yeah
When you see me coming, baby
Raise your window high
Catch me passing on the fly, yeah
But when you see me passing, baby
Hang your head and cry
Search your soul and
Wonder why, yeah
Hurry, hurry down sunshine
And see what tomorrow brings
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Hurry, hurry, hurry down sunshine
And see what tomorrow
brings
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Well, the sun went down
And tomorrow brought us rain
Tomorrow brought sorrow
You're so mean and evil
You do things you ought not do
My, you're a mean one
First time I've seen one
You're so mean and evil
You do things you ought not do
You used to be cool
Now find a new fool
Got my brand of honey
But I won't have to
Put up with
you
Hate you and your town
That's why I got
To put you down
Goodbye
All Of Me
All of me, why not take all of me
Can't you see, I'm no
good without you
Take my lips, I want to loose them
Or take my arms, I'll
never use them
Your goodbye left me, with eyes that cry
How can I go on
dear without you
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take
all of me
Your goodbye left me, with eyes that cry
How can I go on
dear without you
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take
all of me
Good Morning Blues
Good morning blues, blues how do you do
Good morning blues,
blues how do you do
Babe, I feel alright but I come to worry you
Baby, it's Christmas time and I wanna see Santa Claus
Baby,
it's Christmas time and I wanna see Santa Claus
Don't show me my pretty baby, I'll break all of the laws
Santa Claus, Santa Claus, listen to my plea
Santa Claus,
Santa Claus, listen to my plea
Don't send me nothing for Christmas but my
baby back to
Me
With Plenty Of Money And You
Well, baby, what I couldn't do
With plenty of money and you
In spite of the worry that money brings
Just a little filthy looker buys a
lot of things
And I could take you to places
That you would like to go
But outside of that
I've no use for dough
It's the root of all evil
Of strife and upheaval
But I'm
certain, honey, that life would be sunny
With plenty of money and you
It's the root of all evil
Of strife and upheaval
But I'm
certain, honey, that life would be sunny
With plenty of money and you
