Born In Chicago Lyrics

Bob Walsh Born In Chicago

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 could say about that boy, "You
gotta go"

Well, my second friend went down when I was twenty one
years, baby
Well, my second friend went down when I was twenty one
years, baby
Well, there's one thing I could say about that boy, "You
got it babe"

Well, my blues are alright if there's someone left to
play the game
Well, my blues are alright if there's someone left to
play the game
Well my rules are alright if there's someone left to play
the game.
Oh, they just don't seem the same, baby
