Born in Chicago (LP版) - The Paul Butterfield Blues Band

Written by：The Paul Butterfield Blues Band/Nicholas George Gravenites

I was born in Chicago at nineteen and forty one

I was born in Chicago at 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 17 years old

Well my first friend went down

When I was 17 years old

Well there's one thing I can say about that boy

He gotta go

Well my second friend went down

When I was 21 years of age

Well my second friend went down

When I was 21 years of age

Well there's one thing I can say about that boy

He gotta pray

Well now rules are alright

If there's someone left to play the game

Well now rules are alright

If there's someone left to play the game

All my friends are going

And thing's just don't seem the same

Oh thing's just don't seem the same babe
