I was born in Chicago, 1952
I was born in Chicago in 1952
Well, my old friends told me
“Son, you’d better get outta town”
Well, my first cuz 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
Too young to go
Well, my second cuz went down
When I was 18 years of age
Oh, my second friend went down
When I was 18 years of age
Well, there’s one thing I can say about that boy
He gave us joy
Well, a close 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 was no dud
Well, now rules are all right
If there’s someone left to play the game
Well, now rules are all right
If there’s someone left to play the game
All the young are gone now
Everything’s just don’t seem the same
Oh, things just don’t seem the same, oh no
