You goin' to Banglin', tell all my boys
You goin' to Banglin', tell all my boys
The time I had in Illinois
Illinois, Illinois

You'll get there before I do
You'll get there before I do
Tell my boys I'm comin' too
Comin' too, Comin' too
Tell my boys I'm comin' through

Tell my boys I'm comin' through

Tell me where you stayed last night
Tell me where you stayed last night
You come home this mornin', oh the sun was bright
Shinin' bright, shinin' bright
This mornin', oh the sun was bright

I gin my cotton and I sold my seed
I gin my cotton and I sold my seed
Gon' buy my baby, everything she need
Everything she need, everything she need
Gon' buy my baby everything she need
Gon' buy my baby еverything she need

Sewn thе hole my pockets so my change won't lose
Sewn my pockets so my change won't lose
I'll buy my baby some broken shoes
Broken shoes, broken shoes
Buy my baby some broken shoes

You can tell the whole day go down
You can tell the whole day go down
You can lay the mornin' down
Mornin' down, mornin' down
You can lay the mornin' down
