North To Chicago Lyrics - Hank Snow

I filled my ol' car up with gas 

North to Chicago I was goin' 

Just drove ten miles and turned around 

I couldn't leave without you knowin' 

I had to see you one last time 

And be with you once before I go 

To talk with you just one more time 

And then I'm bound north to Chicago 

Still I wish there's something you would say 

To make me change my mind and stay 

But I guess it is gotta be this way 

Then I guess I'm bound north to Chicago 

Please don't be angry that I've come 

I know you didn't want to see me 

I know I said I wouldn't call 

And I tried my best, love, please believe me 

Well everything I own is in the car 

You can see I'm leavin' so you must know 

I've only come to say goodbye 

And then I'm bound north to Chicago 

Still I wish there's something you would say 

To make me change my mind and stay 

But I guess it is gotta be this way 

Then I guess I'm bound north to Chicago 

Ah Lord, that woman done me the fool of little ol' Hank 

And I'm just gonna be movin' on up to Chicago 

Yeah, up to the windy city
