Lord I which I was a catfish swimming in the sea
With lots of pretty women Lordy fishing after me
Then I’d move
Then I’d move
Then I’d move to Kansas City honey, baby where they don’t want you

Now they call me pretty Papa the swellist guy in town
The women’s all crazy about me but my good Gal turned me down
She done moved
She done moved
She done moved to Kansas City honey, baby where they don’t want you

Ah pick that blues out Billy
Instrumentals

Now I went upon Broadway, looking down Biel
Looking for the Gal that they Call Lucile
She done moved
She done moved
She done moved to Kansas City honey, baby where they don’t want you

Now fooling around in Nashville as blue as I can be
Looking for that blond that made a chump out of me
She done moved
She done moved
She done moved to Kansas City honey, baby where they don’t want you
