Chicago Monkey Man Blues lyrics

I`m goin` to Chicago, sorry but I can`t take you
Yes I`m goin` to Chicago, sorry but I can`t take you
Cause there`s nothin` on State Street, that a monkey man can do

I`ve got a monkey man here, a monkey man over there (2x)
If monkey men were money, I`d be a Chicago millionaire

I`ve got fourteen men now, I only want one more
I`ve got fourteen men now, and I only want one more
As soon as I can get one, I`ll let these fourteen go

Now I`m goin` tell you, like the day goes so must you(2x)
When you nobody no money, mama can no usin` you

I can take my monkey men, and stand them all in line(2x)
Anybody can count them, one two three four five six seven eight times
