I'm feeling low down and blue, my heart's full of sorrow Don't hardly know what to do; where will I be tomorrow? Goin' to Kansas City. Want to go, too? No, you can't make it with me Goin' to Kansas City, sorry that I can't take you When you see me comin', raise your window high When you see me leaving, baby, hang your head and cry I'm afraid there's nothing in Miss Creamy's dreamy town A honky-tonky monkey woman can do She'd only bring herself down So long, everybody, the time has come and I must leave you So, if don't never see your smiling face again Make a promise to remember, like a Christmas day in December That I told you all through thick and thin, on up until the end Parker's been your friend Don't hang your head when you see those six pretty horses pullin' me Put a twenty dollar silver piece on my watch chain Look at the smile on my face Sing a little song to let the world know I'm really free Don't cry for me, 'cause I'm going to Kansas City Come with me, if you want to go to Kansas City
