Robert Johnson - Sweet Home Chicago Lyrics
Oh
Baby, don't you want to go
Oh
Baby, don't you want to go
Back to the land of California
Oh
Baby, don't you want to go
Oh
Baby, don't you want to go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago
Now one and one is two
Two and two is four
I'm booked, I gotta go
Cryin', baby
Honey, don't you want to go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago
Now two and two is four
Four and two is six
You gon' keep on monkeyin' 'round here friend-boy,
You gon' get your
Business all in a trick
But I'm cryin', baby
Honey, don't you want to go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago
Now six and two is eight
Eight and two is ten
Friend-boy, she trick you one time
She sure gon' do it again
But I'm cryin', baby
Honey, don't you want to go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago
I'm goin' to California
From there to Des Moines, Iowa
Somebody will tell me that you
Need my help someday, cryin'
Hey, hey
Baby, don't you want to go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago

the virgin billie ellish, the chad sweet home chicago
I am the only person alive today who knows how and what you must do to go to the crossroads. Yes Robert Johnson did sell his soul to the devil and made his deal at the crossroads, but in doing so he was only in search of acceptance and comfort in life ,
Qui est là à cause de son prof de musique 😭🤣
Ive been visiting this video on and off since I was 17 years old, in 2007...

The birth of rock music. It actually happened way before the 50's.

Keith Richards believed for years that there was someone accompanying Mr Johnson on these numbers and then became frightened to know that it was just his hands at work.
And somehow, a man barely recognized in his time, with only a handful of recordings shaped the history of music for the next century..
21 and it’s quite good a lot to learn here
2020 jan
And I’m 60 and we played Foghat’s version of this. I think most other versions were kind of lame as far as the bass line is concerned. Mr Johnson was a pioneer in his own right but he was also quite a mathematician. Lol!!
28th December 2019
Fuck yeah
As a upcoming rapper i will have to pay my respects to robert johnson he was truly a great musician. Knew what to say in his music
Fucking comments
Im 14 and just started getting into blue my taste is more modern rap not mumble though but damn this hits a in a very special way
2019 décembre?
This a very sweet version by Robert Johnson.....his haunting vocals and raw touch on his guitar is enough....no need for any other frills 🎶
You have to remember that there was so many people who sang this and this was the legend who started it all.

Who’s under 20 years old listen to this
By robert johnson.
Hardest musician I ever heard in my life
This is when Illuminati was born
I was watching a documentary on him and I instantly fell in love with the music
i'm 21 and i play sax since i was 8 and i still love this genre i called it dirty blues obviously in a good way, even if i'm italian i love Chicago <3
This was The first Blues Song Ever for me when 15 years old in a town of Mikkeli Finland, still going strong
Most babies cry when they get born. Johnson played the guitar instead.
Abraham Palmer 16 years old here and also learning to play the songs
2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣9️⃣😎❤😍👊👊🇺🇸
ololoooloo
What a legend!
my teacher made my class watch this in general music and he told us the story about Robert johnson summoning a demon and everything else. Everyone wasn't paying attention to it until a book fell, That is why everyone calls it "The demon song" .
This gives me fallout vibes
I once was at a concert with Willie Dixon and Johnny Shines and had the opportunity to talk with them. Dixon was very friendly and we spoke for an hour. Shines didn’t say so much but I asked him what he thought about Cream’s version of Crossroads, and he said it was OK. Then he said; You know, I played with Robert Johnson. I couldn’t believe it. I spoke with a guy who once actually knew Johnson well. It was too much, I could’t find out what to ask.
My hometown. Born & raised for 20 yrs.
Luz negra flotando en los 4 puntos cardinales
Verdadera humanidad
La serpiente se come así misma
Blues Brothers bought me here.
So...did he really sold his soul to the devil? I'm wondering.
I'm 28 instead of rap and pop I listen to Rock Heavy Metal Blues and Jazz
It's a great time for rap, though.

haha love u x
Play that on 0,25 speed and it sound like the devil playing on some kind of violin
hahahahhaha xxxx
Had his music not been recorded, we might well regard this man as a myth, a legend....
mm I agree
There was nothing before this man
Charley Patton and Blind Willie Johnson are nothing now?

C'est ce que j'appelle de la musique
English plz
@Eve Attipa that's what I call music
So now you're gonna explain to me what the fuck those things at the end are?
haha I knowwwww
Lonesome Dave from FOGHAT was great with this song
yes girl
A big part of the lines Johnson plays are of course skill, but also genetics. That famous picture of him with cigarette in mouth shows a pretty good image of his left hand and you can get a pretty good idea of just how big his hands were. With mitts like that you could imagine the kinds of chord shapes you can make.
This song makes me sad because it makes me think of the 30s and how black people were treated and how hard things were back then.
yes the slavery sad face
To those on this post who claim that blues songs like this didn't create the genre we now know as Rock n', Roll, predominantly, but that country music, likewise, equally contributed-NEED TO GET A GRIP. Country music (a musical form with heavy country blues influence) only influenced those musicians during the 50's that had country music as a part of their cultural up bringing-namely white artists of the time, with Chuck Berry being the possible exception. This country/hillbilly, rock hybrid had a name: ROCKABILLY. Sure enough, one can say it was a type of Rock N' Roll; but that's all it was: A TYPE, just like DOO WOP was a type. The rest of it had, including those songs with country/hillbilly influences-a direct pipeline to the kind of blues you're presently listening to, as well as the Rhythm & Blues and Jump Blues, during the Post WW2 period. Elvis, when he was being interviewed while stationed in Germany, admitted as much. (Interestingly enough, the first recorded Rock concert [The Moondog Coronation Ball, 1952], consisted of on all black lineup, playing the type of "Race Music" listed, such as Rhythm and Blues, and Jump Blues. On another note, 2/3 of the audience was black as well.) So again folks, get a grip, and stop distorting the historical record.
Devil is nothing compared to you rest in peace brother respect 2019 and forever love from Shkodra
He plays guitar amazingly. It's a pity he died so young
I learned of Robert Johnson from a jazz history class in college, and ever since, i've appreciated blues on a whole new level.
The devil is playing rhythm guitar.
Remember from blues bros version
Ce blues est magnifique
une française amoureuse du vrai blues. magnifique...magique... thank you usa!!!
So, where's the ripping blues licks? This is better than Clapton, Hendrix? I don't think so.
If it's flashy guitar leads you're interested in, try Blind Willie Johnson for some amazing slide guitar.
Robert Johnson was a great guitar player, but not in the same way Hendrix and Clapton were.
@frantruff Ok. I will check him out. Thanks.
A lot folks don't that Don Law, who produced Robert Johnson's sessions, also produced many Johnny Cash records when cash left Sun Records
The great Jacko. Say hello to scratch for me.
Só o capeta
Damn just 🔥🔥
Arrepia até os pelo do saco 🤘😈
If Bethesda ever makes a Fallout game set in Chicago, they better use this song.
They would better play Chicago Blues only. Maybe some Motown, or whatever hails from Chicago.
so true
WhereisBalake shout dg
thank you!
I'm listening to an 108 year old dead mans voice.
Bob the nob sure did know how to play the blues.
This song sounds like hell...
Sold his sole for talent but what he really wanted was riches
