Alright, alright
Thank you so much ladies and gentlemen right here
Right here I want 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, I got something to tell you
He heard about Chicago
He worked hard over here, made all of that money, 800 dollars
After caring for 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
He said, "Set him up!", cous's payin' for
Had all the go-go girls set up, waitin' up
They carried him downtown and put him up in one of the pleasure hotels
They brought him back out and said, "Set him up!", cous's payin' for
His money got a little lighter, they lured him out from the Lute and brought him down to Robert's
And then he said, "Set him up!", cous's payin' for
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 with the ...
And then, ladies and gentlemen, the go-go girls would get fewer
His friends was fewer
All his buddies are startin' passin' him on the other side of the street
And then it happened all his buddies were gone
