Well I´m going to Chicago, going on the Western Road
Yes I´m going to Chicago, going on the Western Road
There are good times in Baltimore
But I´ve packed this heavy load

Might take a train I might take a plane
But if I have to walk
I´ll be going to Chicago just the same
I´m going to Chicago on the Western Road
There´s bad times in Baltimore I can´t take this load

Have you seen, have you seen, have you seen Miss Mary Anne?
Have you seen, have you seen, have you seen Miss Mary Anne?
Well I want to tell you that´s one kind of woman, who is missing her man

Look down the street on Friday and found out she was gone
I looked for her on Thursday but she has moved along
Miss Maggie Anne, has anybody seen Miss Maggie Anne?
Well let me tell you that´s one woman
One woman who´s sure missing her man
