verse: 
Gypsy woman to said Ben          note: the lyrics for this verse are 
You got a hambone this boar            wrong, if someone knows them 
Get on down Chicago                    please post the right ones! 
Get yours a hambone 
Bone ground, baby 
 
Mama don't you want to go 
Hey Hey Hey 
Baby don't you want to go 
(play chorus riff) 
Back to that little light city 
Sweet home Chicago 
 
One and one is two 
Two and two is four 
I'll be back tomorrow night 
Mama, walk to the frontdoor 
 
Hey Hey 
Mama don't you want to go 
No now 
Baby don't you want to go 
(play chorus riff) 
Back to that little light city 
Sweet home Chicago 
 
Wait out man 
(solo) 
 
Two and two is four 
Four and two is six 
I'll be back tomorrow night 
Soon as I get my business fix 
 
Hey Hey 
Mama don't you want to go 
Hey Hey Hey 
Baby don't you want to go 
(play chorus riff) 
Back to that little light city 
Sweet home Chicago 
 
Six and two is eight 
Eight and two is ten 
Once she fool you one time 
She sure won't do it again 
 
You know 
I got to get down to my sweet home 
Sweet home Chicago 
 
Hey Hey 
Mama don't you want to go 
Hey Hey 
Mama don't you want to go 
(play chorus riff) 
Back to that little light city 
Sweet home Chicago
