Chicago Bound - Otis Stone | Muddy Waters Style | Migration Blues

Описание: 🚂 CHICAGO BOUND by Otis Stone 🚂

I'm Chicago bound, leaving Mississippi in the dust. Got a one-way ticket and a heart filled up with trust.

"Chicago Bound" is early Chicago electric blues telling the great migration story - leaving the Delta cotton fields for Chicago's South Side, bringing Delta blues North to the Windy City. This is the journey Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and thousands of others made in the 1940s and 50s - seeking work, seeking freedom, seeking a better life. Cotton fields behind me, city lights ahead.

This is authentic 1950s Chicago blues - Delta soul meets electric city. The great migration made Chicago blues what it became.

Mississippi in my soul, Chicago in my eyes. Bringing Delta blues North under Northern skies.

🎵 LYRICS:

I'm Chicago bound leaving Mississippi in the dust
I'm Chicago bound leaving Mississippi in the dust
Got a one-way ticket and a heart filled up with trust

Cotton fields behind me city lights ahead
Cotton fields behind me city lights ahead
Chicago bound to find the life I've never led

Chicago bound taking that midnight train
Chicago bound leaving all this Delta pain
Gonna find my fortune in the Windy City sound
Chicago bound I'm northbound bound

Heard about the factories heard about the pay
Heard about the factories heard about the pay
Chicago bound starting tomorrow leaving today

Mama said son you go and make us proud
Mama said son you go and make us proud
Chicago bound singing Delta blues out loud

Chicago bound taking that midnight train
Chicago bound leaving all this Delta pain
Gonna find my fortune in the Windy City sound
Chicago bound I'm northbound bound

Got Mississippi in my soul
Chicago in my eyes
Bringing Delta blues North
Under Northern skies

They say the South Side's where the music comes alive
They say the South Side's where the music comes alive
Chicago bound that's where my blues will thrive

Left the plantation left the Jim Crow too
Left the plantation left the Jim Crow too
Chicago bound to find a life that's new

Chicago bound took that midnight train
Chicago bound left all that Delta pain
Found my fortune in the Windy City sound
Chicago bound I'm northbound bound
