I'm sittin' in Chicago on the thirtieth floor    Lookin' down on the city below    My heart is cold as the wind through the streets    And outside it's starting to snow       Weeks ago I left you in sunny Caroline    Sittin' in our home in the pines    I got a job to do that takes me away from you    But your love still remains on my mind       I'm in love with that girl from that roebuck town    Since I met her she's made my life so sound    She's sweet and she's kind and she's mine all mine    She's the best thing that I'll ever find       The city lights have gone    And the night has brought a storm    And soon I'll be headin' home to you    I can taste your wine    Though it's been a long, long time    No more will I have the Chicago blues       I'm in love with that girl from that roebuck town    Since I met her she's made my life so sound    She's sweet and she's kind and she's mine all mine    She's the best thing that I'll ever find       Look, look around there's snow on the ground    What a cold hard life that I've known    But my love still glows like the city below    Because of all the love she's shown       I'm on a southbound train    Takin' me away from this snow    Takin' me where I really want to go    Out of these chilly winds and havin' no friends    I need the warmth of your sweet lovin' soul       I'm in love with that girl from that roebuck town    Since I met her she's made my life so sound    She's sweet and she's kind and she's mine all mine    She's the best thing that I'll ever find    Got the windy city blues
