Låttexter: Ray Price. On The South Side Of Chicago.

Fancy girls out working honky tonk's a place
These were a part of the good old days

When I used to swing on the south side of Chicago

Twenty first and Network was its beating heart
The place with action first got it start

Back when jazz was king on the south side of Chicago

I still can hear those silver trumpets blowin'
In little places filled with people glowin'

New Orleans was groovy Memphis light and gay
And who could put down New York's Broadway

But there was everything on the south side of Chicago

I still can hear those silver trumpets blowin'
In little places filled with people glowin'

Yes, there was everything on the south side of Chicago
