Illinois Blues

You go to Banglin', tell my boys
 You go to Banglin', tell my boys
 What times I'm havin' up in Illinois
 In Illinois, up in Illinois
 When I gin
 my little cotton I'm going to sell my seed
 When I gin my little cotton and sell my seed
 I'm gonna give my baby, everything she need
 Everything she need, ev'rything she need
 I'm gonna give my baby everything she need
 You know, I been in Texas and I been in Arkansas
 I been in Texas and I been in Arkansas
 But I never had a good time till I got to Illinois
 Up in Illinois, up in Illinois
 The people will treat you just so-so so'
 You'll never go back to old Banglin' no more
 Never no more, never no more
 I been to Chicago and I been to Detroit
 I been to Chicago and I been to Detroit
 But I never had a good time till I got up in Illinois
 In Illinois, up in Illinois
 When you go down in Banglin', will you tell my boys
 When you go down in Banglin', tell my boys
 What a good time's a-waitin' up in Illinois
 Up in Illinois, up in Illinois
