I'm goin' to Chicago, that's the last place my baby stayed
(Hitch hike, hitch hike, baby)
I'm packin' up my bags, gonna leave this old town right away
(Hitch hike, hitch hike, baby)
I'm gonna find my girl, if I have to hitch hike 'round the world

Chicago city, that's what the sign on the highway read
(Hitch hike, hitch hike, baby)
I'm gonna keep movin', till I get to that street called chau m'appelle
(Hitch hike, hitch hike, baby)
I'm gonna find my girl, if I have to hitch hike 'round the world

I'm gonna find my girl, if I have to hitch hike 'round the world

St. Louis city, by the next stop I might be dead
(Hitch hike, hitch hike, baby)
No money in my pocket, so I have to hitch hike all the way
(Hitch hike, hitch hike, baby)
I'm gonna find my girl, if I have to hitch hike 'round the world

Gonna look around the world for my girl
Gonna look in Chicago city
Gonna look in St. Louis
New York

Yeah, I'm goin' to Chicago, that's the last place my baby stayed
(Hitch hike, hitch hike, baby)
Well, packin' up my suitcase, gonna leave this town right away
(Hitch hike, hitch hike, baby)
I'm gonna find my girl, if I have to hitch hike 'round the world
I'm gonna find my girl, if I have to hitch hike 'round the world
