The Paul Butterfield Blues Band - Born in Chicago(2007)

I was born in Chicago, 1941
I was born in Chicago in 1941
Well, my father told me
"Son, you had better get a gun"

Well, my first friend went down
When I was 17 years old
Oh, 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
Oh, 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
Everything's just don't seem the same
Oh, things just don't seem the same, baby
