Well I'm a poor boy, long way from home
Well I'm a poor boy, long way from home
No spending money in my pocket, no spare meat on my bone

Now, people ask me, "what does a poor boy do?"
Now, people ask me, "what does a poor boy do?"
Poor boy sews patches on his clothes,
Stuffs newspaper in his shoes

I'm goin' back to Chicago, man, that's where I'm from
I'm goin' back to Chicago, man, that's where I'm from
I got so many friends in Chicago,
Place just can't do me no harm
