Voted me most likely to successeed

Now I'm walking on the sidewalks of Chicago

If I buy the bread I can't afford the wine

Walking on the sidewalks of Chicago wishing I'd've lived some other time

She stayed just long enough for me to love her

And now they're sweepin' me up off the street

My mama thinks that I've really hit the big time

Why she's wrote to me every day since I've been gone

But she don't know hat 109 East Charlotte

Is the address of the East Side Mission Home

Now I'm walking on...
