Lyrics

[00:19.000] I was born in Chicago at nineteen and forty-one
[00:25.000] I was born in Chicago at nineteen and forty-one
[00:31.500] Well, my father told me
[00:34.000] "Son, you had better get a gun"
[00:38.000] Well, my first friend went down
[00:40.000] When I was 17 years old
[00:44.500] Well, my first friend went down
[00:46.500] When I was 17 years old
[00:50.000] Well, there's one thing I can say about that boy
[00:53.900] He gotta go
[01:15.800] Well, my second friend went down
[01:18.500] When I was 21 years of age
[01:22.500] Well, my second friend went down
[01:24.800] When I was 21 years of age
[01:28.300] Well, there's one thing I can say about that boy
[01:31.100] He gotta pray
[01:54.000] Well, now rules are alright
[01:56.500] If there's someone left to play the game
[02:00.000] Well, now rules are alright
[02:02.500] If there's someone left to play the game
[02:06.800] All my friends are going
[02:09.000] And thing's just don't seem the same
[02:13.300] Oh, thing's just don't seem the same, babe
