Born in Chicago Lyrics
I was born in Chicago in nineteen and forty-one
I was born in Chicago in nineteen and forty-one
Well my father told me,
Son you had better get a gun
Well my first friend went down when I was seventeen years old
Well my first friend went down when I was seventeen years old
Well there's one thing I can say about that boy,
You gotta go
Well my second friend went down when I was twenty-one years of age
Well my second friend went down, people, when I was twenty-one years of age
Well there's one thing I can say about that boy,
You got it babe
Well now blues are alright if there's someone left to play the game
Well now blues are alright if there's someone left to play the game
All my friends are goin' people and things just don't seem the same
Now things just don't seem the same babe
I was born in Chicago in nineteen and forty-one
Well my father told me,
Son you had better get a gun
Well my first friend went down when I was seventeen years old
Well there's one thing I can say about that boy,
You gotta go
Well my second friend went down, people, when I was twenty-one years of age
Well there's one thing I can say about that boy,
You got it babe
Well now blues are alright if there's someone left to play the game
All my friends are goin' people and things just don't seem the same
Now things just don't seem the same babe
