Sweet Home Chicago

from Love Letters to Robert by Josh Leep

/

about

This is one of the first songs I ever remember hearing by Robert Johnson. That and the fact that I'm from the Chicagoland area I couldn't not take a stab at it.

lyrics

Oh baby don't you want to go
Oh baby don't you want to go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago

Oh baby don't you want to go
Oh baby don't you want to go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago

Now one and one is two
Two and two is four
I'm heavy loaded baby
I'm booked I gotta go

Cryin' baby
Honey don't you want to go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago

Now two and two is four
Four and two is six
You gonna keep monkeyin' round here friend-boy
You gonna get your business all in a trick

But I'm cryin' baby
Honey don't you wanna go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago

Now six and two is eight
Eight and two is ten
Friend-boy she trick you one time
She sure gonna do it again

But I'm cryin' hey hey
Baby don't you want to go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago

I'm goin' to California
From there to Des Moines Iowa
Somebody will tell me that you
Need my help someday

Cryin hey hey
Baby don't you want to go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago
