Song lyrics: Band from Chicago by Max Creek
I went down to the bar room
On some dark street on some dark day
And I laid down my money
To hear that band from Chicago play
Well they sailed up the river
From New Orleans they came to stay
And people, people from miles around
Would come by just to hear
That band from Chicago play
And the music they play is what they had to say
To anybody who needs to hear
Timeless delight on a cold dark night
as they drown in their gin and their beer
My baby don’t love me, my baby done left me
My baby she’s up and she’s gone
But when the crying’s all done
And the folks all go home
The band from Chicago played on
The band from Chicago played on
You can hear the times changing
If you listen close enough
We get a little older every day
But no matter where I am or what I’m doing
Sometimes I still have to stop and hear
That band from Chicago play
Chicago play
Chicago play
Chicago play
