Kenneth H. Williams - Chicago Blues Lyrics

CHICAGO BLUES
CAME UP FROM MISSISSIPPI TO THE WEST SIDE OF CHICAGO
GOT NINE DOLLARS ON ME
THAT'S AS MUCH AS I COULD BORROW
BUT I'M GOING TO THE CHECKERBOARD
TO HEAR ME SOME CHICAGO BLUES
AND YOU A FINE LITTLE GIRL THAT LOOKS LIKES YA' WANNA GO TOO

CHECK IT OUT WHEN I FIRST GOT INTO CHICAGO
HEADED WEST TO CICERO
GOT AS FAR AS MADISON AND PULASKI
COP SAID WHERE YOU TRYING TO GO
I SAID PLEASE PLEASE OFFICER ALL I'M TRYING TO DO
IS FIND THE CHECKERBOARD LOUNGE
AND HEAR ME SOME CHICAGO BLUES

HEY PRETTY BABY AIN'T NO TIME TO MESS AROUND
TAKE THE L TRAIN TO 43RD THE BRONZEVILLE SIDE OF TOWN
BUY ME A FISH SANDWICH GIRL AND I'LL 'SHOLE' BE GOOD TO YOU
AND WE GONE SHUT THE JOINT YEAH THAT'S WHAT WE GONNA DO
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOME ACTION BABY WHAT WE GOTTA DO
IS FIND THE CHECKERBOARD LOUNGE AND HEAR ME SOME CHICAGO BLUES

SO IF ANYBODY ASK YA' ALL I'M TRYING TO DO
IS FIND THE CHECKERBOARD LOUNGE AND HEAR SOME CHICAGO BLUES"
