Umm-hm<br />
Baby, don't you wanna go?<br />
'Take your time now an make this one right'<br />
Um-mm-hm, baby don't you wanna go?<br />
'Go where?'<br />
To that land of California, sweet old Chicago<br />
Yeah<br />
<br />
Now, did ya get that letter<br />
Dropped in yo' backyard?<br />
I wants to come to see you<br />
Yo' best man got me barred<br />
<br />
Cry, ooh-ooo!<br />
Baby, don't you want to go?<br />
To that land Californ', sweet old Chicago<br />
<br />
Now, I don't drink because I'm dry<br />
I drink because I'm blue<br />
The reason I drink, pretty mama<br />
Now, I can't get 'long wit you<br />
<br />
Mmm-mm-mm<br />
Baby, don't you want to go?<br />

To that land a Californ', sweet old Chicago<br />

Now, look-a-here, baby<br />
Don't have t'tell you know mo'<br />
You can get my lovin'<br />
If you just let him go<br />
<br />
Cry, ooh<br />
'Playin' me a long shout'<br />
Baby, don't you want to go-oooh?<br />
To that land a Californ', sweet old Chicago<br />
<br />
'Planned on May'<br />

Yes, yes<br />

Now, my-my mama tol' me<br />
Papa, startin' to cry<br />
Son, 'You're too young-a man<br />
To have them women yo' side<br />

She cried, 'Look-a-here, babe<br />
I know you wants to go'<br />
To that land of Californ', sweet old Chicago<br />
