Robert Johnson

Robert Leroy Johnson (May 8, 1911 – August 16, 1938) was an American blues singer and musician. His landmark recordings from 1936–37 display a combination of singing, guitar skills, and songwriting talent that has influenced later generations of musicians. Johnson's shadowy, poorly documented life and death at age 27 have given rise to much legend, including the Faustian myth that he sold his soul at a crossroads to achieve success. As an itinerant performer who played mostly on street corners, in juke joints, and at Saturday night dances, Johnson had little commercial success or public recognition in his lifetime. more »

Oh baby don't you want to go
Oh baby don't you want to go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago

Oh baby don't you want to go

Honey don't you want to go
Back to the land of California

Baby don't you want to go
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home Chicago
