Alright, alright
Thank you so much ladies and gentlemen right here
Right here I'd like to tell you a little story
This is about a country boy from down home
This young man has never been north before
I want you to listen to me now, I've got something to tell you
He heard about Chicago
He worked hard all the year, made all of that money, 800 dollars
After gathering his crop, he called his cousin in Chicago
And he said, "Cousin, I'm on my way"
He picked all of that cotton
I said this is about a country boy like myself, B.B. King you know
So when he get to Chicago, his cousin meet him and bring him out to the club
Hе said, "Set 'em up! Cous' is payin' for it"
Had all the go-go girls sеttin' up, waitin' on 'im
They carried him downtown and put him up in one of the plush hotels
They brought him back out and said, "Set 'em up! Cous' is payin' for it"
As money got a little lighter, they moved him out from the Lute and brought him down to Robert's
And then he said, "Set him up! Cous' is payin' for it"
And then the 800 dollars, bein' more money then my man had ever had, began to run out
Then they moved him out and put him down to the Persian
And then, ladies and gentlemen, the go-go girls was gettin' fewer
His friends was fewer
All his buddies had start to passin' him on the other side of the street
And then it happened all his money was gone
