Written about escaping the racially oppressive South in the '30s, "Sweet Home Chicago" has snaked its rhyming way into "The Blues Brothers" movie and soundtrack, prominent placement at the 1996 Democratic National Convention and, over and over for eternity, at blues nightclubs around Chicagoland.May 30, 2002

“Sweet Home Chicago"
Well have you heard the daily news
Mr. Goody Good Gum Shoe
He had to hurt a few
Just to keep the windy pretty
Big shouldered stocky yard dogs
Are gnawing on the photogs
But it's such an unconventional friendly city
Sweet Home Chicago
Sweet Home Chicago
Sweet Home Chicago
Yes, and I may never go home no more
Hey hit 'em low
And stack 'em high
Waltz time around and watch 'em fry
You got to clean up the student bodies
Way down in Mexico
Hey Man
Here's what to do
You got to see Chicago Zoo
They got the flying northern redneck
And the goosestep point of view
Sweet Home Chicago
Sweet Home Chicago
Sweet Home Chicago
Well darling I may never go home no more
Sweet Home Chicago, whoa yeah yeah
Sweet Home Chicago
Sweet Home Chicago
Sweet Home Chicago
Sweet Home Chicago
Sweet Home Chicago
Sweet Home Chicago
Sweet Home Chicago
