Born in Chicago Songtext
von Mike Bloomfield

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 things just don't seem the same
Oh, things just don′t seem the same, babe
