In Love Again

In Love Again - Lonnie Johnson/Blues

Chicago is all right to visit but please don't hang around

You'll find smooth blacks and high yellows boy and those mellow browns

But when your bankroll is gone you just another chump that's dropped into town

My first night in Chicago my friends they really treated me fine

And over night they all changed like daylight savings time

And everything I wanted I had to lay my money down on the line

I said "Baby you're so lovely your eyes shine like the stars above

You wear number 3 shoes yes and wear number 5 gloves "

She say "It's money I need baby and I don't need love "

I said "I could make you love me darlin' baby I just know I could

You can learn to love me baby I know you could "

She says "Lay your money down baby and make your bettin' good "

I said "Let's go to New York baby I'll buy you anything you like

I will give you plenty of money I will buy you a 1942 Cadillac "

She says "I'm sorry this fine brown body will be here when you get back "
