Jim Jackson — Kansas City Blues, Pt. 1 - Original lyrics

Lyrics

I was first on Main Street
Started down Beale
I was looking for this women
They call Lucille
She done moved to Kansas City
She done moved to Kansas City
She done moved, baby
Honey, where they don’t like you
The Mississippi river
So long, deep, and wide
I can see my good girl standing on the other side
She done moved to Kansas City
She done moved to Kansas City
She done moved, baby
Honey, where they don’t want you
I left her on Beale Street
Started down
I was looking for the women
They call Lizzie, man
She done moved to Kansas City
She done moved to Kansas City
She done moved, baby
Honey, where they don’t want you
If you don’t like my peaches
Don’t shake my tree
I ain’t after your woman, man
She’s after me
She done moved to Kansas City
She done moved to Kansas City
She done moved, baby
Honey, where they don’t want you
I’ve got one girl in Texas
And two in Tennessee
But the woman over here in this town, Lord
all over me
She done moved to Kansas City
She done moved to Kansas City
She done moved, baby
Honey, where they don’t want you
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
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
