Just Blew in from the Windy City (Calamity Jane)

I just blew in from the windy city

The windy city is mighty pretty

But they ain't got what we got, no sirree

They've got shacks up to seven stories

Never see any Morning Glory's

But a step from our doorway

We got 'em for freeThey've got those minstrel shows

Pretty ladies in the big chateau's

Private lawns, public parks

For the sake of civic virtue

They've got fountains there that squirt youI just blew in from the windy city

The windy city is mighty pretty

But they ain't got what we got

I'm tellin' ya, boys

We got more life in Deadwood City

Than in all of IllinoisYou should-a seen me a-windo' shoppin'

A-windo' shoppin' with eyes a-poppin'

At the sights that you see there, yes sirree

Press a bell and a moment later

Up you go in an elevator

Just as fast as a polecat a-climbin' a treeI heard claim hundreds came

To a thing they call a baseball game

Cigar stores, revolving doors

They got new inventions coming

'Stead of outdoor, indoor plumbingI just blew in from the windy city

The windy city is mighty pretty

But they ain't got what we got

I'm tellin' ya, boys

I ain't a-swappin' half of Deadwood

For the whole of Illinois
