River's long, deep and wide
Gal I love is on the other side
I'm gonna move to Kansas City
Move to Kansas City
I'm gonna move, pretty baby
Baby, where they don't 'low you
Ask you people have you seen Lucille
Last time I saw her she was in Mobile
I'm gonna move to Kansas City
Move to Kansas City
I'm gonna move, pretty baby
Baby, where they don't 'low you
I jumped in the river, started to drown
Thought about my baby, and I turned around
I wanna move to Kansas City
Move to Kansas City
I'm gonna move, pretty baby
Honey, where they don't 'low you
I'll tell you sam, one thing you should never do
Never let no woman tell you she loves you
She'll call you honey, call you pie
Maybe catch a freight train on the fly
I'm gonna move to Kansas City
Move to Kansas City
I'm gonna move to Kansas City
Honey, where they don't 'low you
I'm gonna move to Kansas City
Move to Kansas City
I'm gonna move to Kansas City
Baby, where they don't 'low you
