Born In Chicago
I was born in Chicago 1951
I was born in Chicago 1951
Well my daddy told me
"Son, you had better get a gun."
Well, my first friend went down
Just 17 years of age
Well, my first friend went down
17 years of age
Well, there's one thing I say about that boy
He got brave
Well, my second friend went down
When I was 21 years old
Well, my second friend went down
Just 21 years old
Well, there's one thing I say about that boy
He got bold
Well, the blues is all right
If there's someone left to play the game
Now the blues is all right
If there's someone left to play the game
Well my friends have been going
And everything just don't seem the same
I was born in Chicago 1951
Well my daddy told me
"Son, you had better get a gun."
Well, my first friend went down
Just 17 years of age
Well, my first friend went down
17 years of age
Well, there's one thing I say about that boy
He got brave
Well, my second friend went down
When I was 21 years old
Well, my second friend went down
Just 21 years old
Well, there's one thing I say about that boy
He got bold
Well, the blues is all right
If there's someone left to play the game
Now the blues is all right
If there's someone left to play the game
Well my friends have been going
And everything just don't seem the same
