Well, I was born in Chicago back in 19 and 41 
I was born in Chicago back in 19 and 41 
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 you can say 'bout that, boy 
He got gold 

My second friend went down when I was 21 years old 
Well, my second friend went down when I was 21 years old 
There's one thing you can say 'bout that, boy 
He got bread 

Well, the blues's all right when there's someone left to play the game 
Well, the blues's all right when there's someone left to play the game 
All my friends are going 
And things just don't seem the same 

No, things just don't seem the same, babe
