Kansas City Blues



Oh the river's long, deep and wide

Gal I love is on the other side.

I'm gonna move to Kansas City,

Move to Kansas City.

I'm gonna move, pretty baby

Honey, where they don't 'low you.



Ask you people have you seen Lucille

Last time I seen her she was in Mobile.

She must have moved to Kansas City,

Moved to Kansas City.

She must have moved, pretty baby

Honey, where they don't 'low you.



Walkin' down Beale Street, turnin' down Main

Lookin' for a woman that sells cocaine

She must have moved to Kansas City,

Moved to Kansas City.

She must have moved, pretty baby

Honey, where they don't 'low you.



I jumped in the river, started to drown

Thought about my baby, and I turned around

I wanna move to Kansas City,

Move to Kansas City.

I'm gonna move, pretty baby

Honey, where they don't 'low you.



I'll tell you one thing you should never do

Never let no woman tell you she loves you;

She'll call you honey, call you pie

Go and catch a freight train on the fly

You better move to Kansas City,

Move to Kansas City.

You gotta move, baby

Honey, where they don't 'low you.
