Lyrics:

(Who Knew Kalamazoo)

(Verse1)
I wore a hole in my shoe wandering from Chicago to Kalamazoo
I walked three weeks just to get somewhere new
But when I arrived there was no place to sleep or eat
So, I spend most of my time on the street
(Chorus)
Who knew, who knew, who knew I’d end up in Kalamazoo
But it’s now my home brand new
Who knew, who knew, who knew I’d end up in Kalamazoo
Or fall in love with my beautiful Sue
(Verse 2)
We met at a free kitchen one chilly night
It’s amazing she even looked at me, I was such a sight
Sue was an angel, a shining light in the dark
I asked her out that very night for a walk in the park
(Chorus)
Who knew, who knew, who knew I’d end up in Kalamazoo
But It’s now my home brand new
Who knew, who knew, who knew I’d end up in Kalamazoo
Or fall in love with my beautiful Sue

Sue told me she just left a bad relationship
I pulled out my flask and offered her a sip
Sue looked at me and asked, “Why?”
She said she gave up the drink and so should I

(Chorus)
Who knew, who knew, who knew I’d end up in Kalamazoo
But it’s now my home brand new
Who knew, who knew, who knew I’d end up in Kalamazoo
Or fall in love with my beautiful Sue
(Verse 3)
I knew right then and there Sue was the one
My life of love for her had just begun
Sue saved me from my life of pain
Eventually we both jumped aboard the love train
(Outro)
We married in Kalamazoo
It’s now our home brand new
Who knew, who knew, who knew I’d end up in Kalamazoo
Who knew, who knew, who knew I’d end up in Kalamazoo
Thank you Kalamazoo for my beautiful Sue
