Ferlin Husky Sidewalks Of Chicago Lyrics

Sidewalks Of Chicago Lyrics

This Levi's that I'm wearin' have been good to me



They just won't admit they're growin' old



Though my shirt's made contract with a gutter now and then



At least it keeps my body from the cold



Thank God the folks back home in Harlan County



Can't see what success has done for me



Would you believe that kids in Harlan High School voted me most likely to
successeed



Now I'm walking on the sidewalks of Chicago



If I buy the bread I can't afford the wine



Now I'm walking on the sidewalks of Chicago wishing I had lived some other
time







I wasn't here too long before I met her the lady really swept me off my feet



She stayed just long enough for me to love her



And now they're sweepin' me up off the street



My mama thinks I've really hit the big time



She's written every day since I've been gone



She don't know hat 109 East Charlotte is the adress of the West Side Mission
Home



Now I'm walking on the sidewalks...
