Illinois Blues Lyrics

You go to Banglin’ tell all my boys
You go to Banglin’ tell all my boys
The time I had in Illinois
Illinois, Illinois
The time I had in Illinois

You get there before I do
You get there before I do
Tell all my boys I’m coming through
Coming through, coming through
Tell all my boys I’m coming through

Tell me baby, stay that night
Tell me baby, stay that night
On this morning, the sun was bright
Somewhat bright, somewhat bright
On this morning, the sun was bright

Fix my pocket so my chain don’t lose (?)
Fix my pocket so my chain don’t lose
Buy my baby some broken shoes
Broken shoes
Broken shoes
Buy my baby some broken shoes

<fingerpicked solo>

Buy my baby some broken shoes

Gin my cotton, sell my seed
Gin my cotton, sell my seed
And buy my baby the things she need
things she need, things she need
And buy my baby the things she need

You go to Banglin’ tell all my boys
You go to Banglin’ tell all my boys
The time I had in Illinois
Illinois, Illinois
The time I had in Illinois
