WINDY CITY BLUES
Words and Music: Jimmy Segerson © 2004
Verse 1
I don?t need no fatback
I don?t need no grits
I don?t want no chitlins
Don?t know what they is
Never woke at daybreak
Never milked no cow
Never plucked no chicken
And I won?t learn now
Chorus
Back in the Windy City
Don?t know nothin? ?bout no plow
Country blues is alright
Chicago blues burn down the house
Verse 2
Well I been to Memphis
Been to Texas too
Stayed in Buffalo
Seems like a year or two
Baltimore,
Had to pay some dues
Slid down to the Delta
?Cause I sho-nuff had the blues
Chorus
Back in the Windy City
Sho-ain?t nothin? but pure luck
Cool blues is everywhere
Chicago blues burn it all up
Verse 3
South Chicago
What a battle ground
Junior and Buddy
That?s where they got that sound
Howlin? Wolf and Muddy
Came here to play the Blues
They was reborn in Chicago
They loved that attitude
Chorus
Back in the Windy City
J.B. Hutto played it loud
Some folks like to play it down
Chicago likes to play it loud
