Born In Chicago

As performed on 'Live from Chicago's House Of Blues'




I was born in chicago back in 1951
I was born in chicago back in 1951
My father told me
Son you had better get a gun

My first friend went down when I was 17 years of age
My frist friend went down when I was 17 years of age
Well there's one thing I can say 'bout that boy
He was brave

My second friend went down when he was 33 years of age
My second friend went down when he was 33 years of age
Well there's one thing we can say about John
He was brave

Well rules are alright if there's someone left to play the game
Well rules are alright if there's someone left to play the game
All my friends keep on dying
Til they're all gone
