Goin' To Chicago

Goin' To Chicago - Van Morrison (範·莫里森)

Written by：Jimmy Rushing/Count Basie

You keep your New York joys

I'm bound for Illinois just as fast as I can

You New York woman think you make a fool of any man

Play all kinds of games and you cheat if you can

Treat them like a tool make a man a fool

What a beautiful model got my money that's it

How come you mind if I split

Goin' back where a woman knows to treat a man

And people are friendly without no hidden plan

It's the best in the Midwest

It's a real town city full of good folks who come from home

And when I get back I'll never run far from my chi town

Goodbye farewell I'ma see you later

Goin' to Chicago so sorry that I can't take you

I come from chi town chi town is my town

We're goin' to Chicago sorry that can't take you

No use in crying tired of your lying

Ain't nothing left to scream and dream in town

Mucky woman like you can do

I gotta quit ya can't make it with ya

When you see me comin' baby raise up your window high

Push your window to the sky yeah

When you see me comin' want you to raise up your window high

Passin' on the fly yeah

See me leavin' hang your head and cry

Hurry down hurry down hurry down back to sunshine

See what tomorrow tomorrow brings

Hurry down sunshine see what tomorrow brings tomorrow tomorrow

Might bring rain might bring the rites of spring

Tomorrow brought sorrow

Mean and evil you're mean and evil and you

Do things you ought not to ought not to do

Now you're a mean one first time I've seen one

You're so mean and evil you know what I mean

Do things you ought not do

You used to be cool go find a new fool

But now I've got my money honey

And I don't have to put up with you

Hate you and your town that's why I've got to put you down

Goodbye
