The Night Chicago Died(Re-Recording) - Paper Lace[00:00:00]
Daddy was a cop[00:00:17]
On the east side of Chicago[00:00:19]
Back in the USA[00:00:21]
Back in the bad old days[00:00:23]
In the heat of a summer night[00:00:27]
In the land of the dollar bill[00:00:31]
When the town of Chicago died[00:00:35]
And they talk about it still[00:00:39]
When a man named Al Capone[00:00:41]
Tried to make that town his own[00:00:44]
And he called his gang to war[00:00:46]
Against the forces of the law[00:00:48]
I heard my mama cry[00:00:50]
I heard her pray the night Chicago died[00:00:53]
Brother what a night it really was[00:00:59]
Brother what a fight it really was glory be[00:01:02]
I heard my mama cry[00:01:06]
I heard her pray the night Chicago died[00:01:10]
Brother what a night the people saw[00:01:16]
Brother what a fight the people saw yes indeed[00:01:18]
And the sound of the battle rang[00:01:23]
Through the streets of the old east side[00:01:28]
'Til the last of the hoodlum gang[00:01:32]
Had surrendered up or died[00:01:36]
There was shouting in the street[00:01:39]
And the sound of running feet[00:01:41]
And I asked someone who said[00:01:43]
'Bout a hundred cops are dead[00:01:45]
I heard my mama cry[00:01:47]
I heard her pray the night Chicago died[00:01:50]
Brother what a night it really was[00:01:56]
Brother what a fight it really was glory be[00:01:59]
I heard my mama cry[00:02:03]
I heard her pray the night Chicago died[00:02:07]
Brother what a night the people saw[00:02:13]
Brother what a fight the people saw yes indeed[00:02:15]
Then there was no sound at all[00:02:20]
But the clock upon the wall[00:02:25]
Then the door burst open wide[00:02:29]
And my daddy stepped inside[00:02:32]
And he kissed my mama's face[00:02:34]
And he brushed her tears away[00:02:36]
The night Chicago died[00:02:38]
The night Chicago died[00:02:44]
Brother what a night the people saw[00:02:47]
Brother what a fight the people saw glory be[00:02:49]
The night Chicago died[00:02:54]
The night Chicago died[00:03:01]
Brother what a night the people saw[00:03:03]
Brother what a fight the people saw yes indeed[00:03:06]
