Kansas City Blues
[Verse 1]
I was first on Main Street
Started down Beale
I was looking for this women
They call Lucille
[Chorus]
She done moved to Kansas City
She done moved to Kansas City
She done moved, baby
Honey, where they don’t like you
[Verse 2]
The Mississippi river
So long, deep, and wide
I can see my good girl standing on the other side
[Chorus]
She done moved to Kansas City
She done moved to Kansas City
She done moved, baby
Honey, where they don’t want you
[Verse 3]
I left her on Beale Street
Started down [Ben?]
I was looking for the women
They call Lizzie, man
[Chorus]
She done moved to Kansas City
She done moved to Kansas City
She done moved, baby
Honey, where they don’t want you
[Verse 4]
If you don't like my peaches
Don't shake my tree
I ain't after your woman, man
She's after me
[Chorus]
She done moved to Kansas City
She done moved to Kansas City
She done moved, baby
Honey, where they don’t want you
[Verse 5]
I've got one girl in Texas
And two in Tennessee
But the woman over here in this town, Lord
[Caked?] all over me
[Chorus]
She done moved to Kansas City
She done moved to Kansas City
She done moved, baby
Honey, where they don’t want you
[Verse 6]
I'm going to tell all of you men
What we mustn't do
Don't never love a women like she says she loves you
She'll call you honey, she'll call you pie
And she'll let things get loose, Lord, on the sly
[Chorus]
Then she'll move to Kansas City
Then she'll move to Kansas City
Then she'll move, baby
Honey, where they don’t want you
