Notes:
1) California is a synonym for the golden opportunities
that was present in Chicago for a Blues Musician. The
reason California is used is because of the golden
opportunities related to the Gold Rush.
2) Iowa is sung Iowaayyy as in Io - "way". This should
supposedly be on purpose.

Oh
Baby, don't you want to go
Oh
Baby, don't you want to go

Oh
Baby, don't you want to go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago

Now one and one is two
Two and two is four
I'm heavy loaded baby
I'm booked, I gotta go
Cryin', baby
Honey, don't you want to go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago

Now two and two is four
Four and two is six
You gon' keep on monkeyin' 'round here friend-boy,
You gon' get your
Business all in a trick
But I'm cryin', baby
Honey, don't you want to go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago

From there to Des Moines, Iowa
Somebody will tell me that you
Need my help someday, cryin'
