I'm goin' to Kansas City Kansas City here I come
I'm goin' to Kansas City Kansas City here I come
Tell them Kansas City women their Kansas City daddys comin' home
Been on this old road travelin' night and day
On this old road travelin' night and day
I'm goin' to Kansas City Casey's callin' me
I got a friend in Denver he wanted me to stay awhile
Got a friend in Denver he wanted me to stay awhile
But I'm goin' to Kansas City countin' every mile

[ ac.guitar ]
I've been hitchhikin' every day and night yeah mostly hikin' every day and night
Just a few more miles old Casey will be in sight
When they lay me down beneath that cold cold ground
When they lay this old boy down beneath that cold cold ground
It'll be in Kansas City Casey my old hometown
