Lyrics
Goin' up the river
Honey, but I can't take you
I'm goin' up the river
Honey, but I can't take you
Lord, nothin' up there
For a real nice gal to do
From Natchez up to Greenville
On to the Tennessee line
From Natchez up to Greenville
Right on to the Tennessee line
Mmm, when we get to Memphis
Everything gonna be fine
Here I am in Kansas City
Eighteenth and Vine
Here I am in Kansas City
Eighteenth and Vine
Lord, they give you water here
Tastes like sherry wine
And I'm goin' to Chicago
I won't be back 'til fall
Lord, Lord
I'm goin' to Chicago
I won't be back 'til fall
Lord, if I find my good gal
I won't be back at all
Play the blues, yeah
