Lyrics
Late last night, I stole away and cried
Late last night, I stole away and cried
Got the blues for Chicago
And I can’t be satisfied
Got the blues so bad
I’m gonna leave old Bingham town
Got the blues so bad
I’m gonna leave old Bingham town
My man just caught a train
It was Chicago Bound
Blues on my brain
My tongue refuses to talk
Blues on my brain
My tongue refuses to talk
I would follow my daddy
But my feet refuse to walk
