Late last night, I sold away and cried
   Late last night, I sold away and cried
   Had the blues for Chicago, I just can't be satisfied
   Blues on my brain, my tongue refused to talk
   Blues on my brain, my tongue refused to talk
   I was followin' my daddy but my feet refuses to walk
   Mean old fireman, cruel old engineer
   Lord mean old fireman, cruel old engineer
   You took my man and left his mama standing here
   Big red headline, tomorrow Defender news
   Big red headline, tomorrow Defender news
   "Woman dead down home, these old Chicago blues"
   I said blues
