Can't find this song here or on google. I think its by Boxcar Willie. I hope someone here has the words.

Thanks

Simon

Found mention at a Boxcar Willie Lyric site where someone seems to have the words and wanted to confirm with Boxcar Willie's version. Check the site out.

Thanks for the lead, didn't get anywhere. I wonder if it is Boxcar Willie, its not on any of his CDs on his website under the title Cold Windy City Of Chicago

Here's hoping someone has the lyrics or even audio I can transcribe lyrics from.

Here ya go...

THE COLD WINDY CITY OF CHICAGO
(Boxcar Willie)

In this cold windy city of Chicago, here I stand. I’m a-waiting for a train.
Lord, I wish had lots of money. Tonight I’d go home on a big jet plane.
But I can't even buy a cup of coffee, and my spirits they are a-bending low.
With the wind to my back, I stand along the track in this cold windy city of Chicago.

CHORUS:
Blowin' low ---
Your fingers are cold to the snow
And, Lord, I’ve never been
Where I didn't have a friend
Till the cold windy city of Chicago.

In this cold windy city of Chicago, Lord, the wind it chills me to the bone.
And I never realized in a town of this size how a man could feel so low and all alone.
In the distance, I hear the train that's comin', and the whistle mourns soft and low.
You can almost hear it say, “Be glad you're on your way from the cold windy city of Chicago.” CHORUS

TAG: In this cold windy city of Chicago.
