Lyrics:
(Oh Yeah)
verse:
Gypsy woman to said Ben note: the lyrics for this verse are
You got a hambone this boar wrong, if someone knows them
Get on down Chicago please post the right ones!
Get yours a hambone
Bone ground, baby
Mama don't you want to go
Hey Hey Hey
Baby don't you want to go
(play chorus riff)
Back to that little light city
Sweet home Chicago
One and one is two
Two and two is four
I'll be back tomorrow night
Mama, walk to the frontdoor
Hey Hey
Mama don't you want to go
No now
Baby don't you want to go
(play chorus riff)
Back to that little light city
Sweet home Chicago
Wait out man
(solo)
Two and two is four
Four and two is six
I'll be back tomorrow night
Soon as I get my business fix
Hey Hey
Mama don't you want to go
Hey Hey Hey
Baby don't you want to go
(play chorus riff)
Back to that little light city
Sweet home Chicago
Six and two is eight
Eight and two is ten
Once she fool you one time
She sure won't do it again
You know
I got to get down to my sweet home
Sweet home Chicago
Hey Hey
Mama don't you want to go
Hey Hey
Mama don't you want to go
(play chorus riff)
Back to that little light city
Sweet home Chicago
