Lyric

Oh, baby, don't you want to go

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

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 two and two is four

Four and two is six

You goin' keep on monkeyin'

'round here friend-boy

You goin' get your business all in a trick

Cryin', baby

Honey, 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 six and two is eight, eight and two is ten

Friend-boy, she trick you one time she sure gon' do it again

But I'm cryin', baby, don't you want to go

To the land of California, to my sweet home Chicago

I'm goin' to California

From there to Des Moines, Iowa

Somebody will tell me that you need my help someday

Cryin'baby

Honey, 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
