If You're Goin' To The City

If You're Goin' To The City - Mose Allison

Written by：Mose Allison

If you're up goin' to the city

You better have some cash

If you're up goin' to the city

You better have some cash

With all the people of the city

Don't mesh around with trash

And when you get up get to the city

You better lock your door

And when you get up get to the city

You better lock your door

You know they take what you got boy

And then they laugh for more

And when you get up get to the city

You better learn to shout

And when you get up get to the city

You better learn to shout

So if you don't stand up an holler

You gonna get left out

And if you stay up in the city

There's just two things I hope

I said if you stay up in the city

There's just two things I hope

That you don't take money from a woman

And you don't start messin' 'round with d**e
