"Kansas City" song lyrics 

"I'm going to Kansas City.
Kansas City, here I come.
I'm going to Kansas City.
Kansas City, here I come.
They've got crazy little women there
And I'm going to get me one.

I'm going to be standing on the corner--Twelfth Street and Vine.
I'm going to be standing on the corner--Twelfth Street and Vine.
With my Kansas City baby
and a bottle of Kansas City wine.

Well, I might take a train,
I might take a plane,
But if I have to walk I'm going just the same--
Going to Kansas City.
Kansas City, here I come.
They've got crazy little women there
And I'm going to get me one."

Amazon review
When The Band's drummer Levon Helm set up a Woodstock-based recording studio and production company in 1975, his first client was the legendary bluesman Muddy Waters. Surrounding him with familiar sidemen Pinetop Perkins and Bob Margolin, plus such simpatico rock and blues stalwarts as The Band's Garth Hudson on accordion and organ, Paul Butterfield on harp, and Howard Johnson on saxophone, the 60-year-old Waters responded with the smoothest and most supple singing of his career.
