Jo Stafford

Jo Elizabeth Stafford (November 12, 1917 – July 16, 2008) was an American singer of traditional pop music and occasional actress, whose career spanned four decades from the late 1930s to the early 1960s. She was admired by both critics and the listening public for the purity of her voice and was considered one of the most versatile vocalists of the era. Her 1952 song "You Belong to Me" topped the charts in the United States and United Kingdom, and made her the first woman to have a No 1 on the UK Singles Chart. She is also the winner of a 1961 Grammy Award for an album of comedic interpretations of popular songs produced with her husband, Paul Weston. more »

Lord I which I was a catfish swimming in the sea
With lots of pretty women Lordy fishing after me
Then I'd move
Then I'd move
Then I'd move to Kansas City honey, baby where they don't want you

Now they call me pretty Papa the swellist guy in town
The women's all crazy about me but my good Gal turned me down
She done moved
She done moved
She done moved to Kansas City honey, baby where they don't want you

Ah pick that blues out Billy

Now I went upon Broadway, looking down Biel
Looking for the Gal that they Call Lucile
She done moved
She done moved
She done moved to Kansas City honey, baby where they don't want you

Now fooling around in Nashville as blue as I can be
Looking for that blond that made a chump out of me
She done moved
She done moved
She done moved to Kansas City honey, baby where they don't want you
