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 daddy's 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



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
