I'm was first on Main and I started down Beale, I was lookin' for the woman that they call Lucille.

She's done moved to Kansas City, she's done moved to Kansas City.

She's done moved baby, honey baby where they don't like you.



The Mississippi River is so long, deep, and wide, I can't see my baby standin' on the other side.

She's done moved to Kansas City, she's done moved to Kansas City.

She's done moved baby, honey where they don't like you.



I left on Beale, and I started down Vant, I was lookin' for the woman that cut up my last pair of pants.

She done moved to Kansas City, she done moved to Kansas City.

She done moved baby, honey where they don't like you.



If you don't like my peaches, don't shake my tree, I ain't after your woman, she is after me.

We goin' to move to Kansas City, we goin' to move to Kansas City.

We goin' to move baby, honey where they don't like you.



I got a gal in Texas, I got two in Tennessee, I got a woman in this town, Lord she claims over me.

We goin' to move to Kansas City, we goin' to move to Kansas City.

We goin'to move baby, honey where they don't like you.



I'm goin' to tell all you men what we mustn't do, don't never love no woman like she say she love you.

She will call you honey, she will call you pie, she will let things loose on the sly.

Then she will move to Kansas City, she will move to Kansas City.

Then she will move baby, honey where they don't like you.
