The Night Chicago Died - Paper Lace[00:00:00]
Lyrics by:D.R.[00:00:01]
Composed by:D.R.[00:00:01]
My daddy was a cop on the east side of Chicago[00:00:18]
Back in the USA back in the bad old days[00:00:22]
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[00:00:36]
And they talk about it still[00:00:40]
When a man named Al Capone[00:00:42]
Tried to make that town his own[00:00:44]
And he called his gang to war[00:00:47]
With the forces of the law[00:00:49]
I heard my mama cry[00:00:50]
I heard her pray the night Chicago died[00:00:54]
Brother what a night it really was[00:01:00]
Brother what a fight it really was[00:01:02]
Glory be[00:01:04]
I heard my mama cry[00:01:07]
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[00:01:19]
Yes indeed[00:01:21]
And the sound of the battle rang[00:01:24]
Through the streets of the old east side[00:01:28]
'Til the last of the hoodlum gang[00:01:33]
Had surrendered up or died[00:01:37]
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[00:01:46]
I heard my mama cry[00:01:47]
I heard her pray the night Chicago died[00:01:51]
Brother what a night it really was[00:01:57]
Brother what a fight it really was[00:01:59]
Glory be[00:02:01]
I heard my mama cry[00:02:04]
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[00:02:16]
Yes indeed[00:02:18]
And ther was no sound at all[00:02:21]
But the clock upon the wall[00:02:25]
Then the door burst open wide[00:02:30]
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]
Na-na na na-na-na na-na-na-na-na[00:02:41]
The night Chicago died[00:02:45]
Brother what a night it really was[00:02:48]
Brother what a fight it really was[00:02:50]
Glory be[00:02:52]
The night Chicago died[00:02:54]
Na-na na na-na-na na-na-na-na-na[00:02:58]
The night Chicago died[00:03:01]
Brother what a night the people saw[00:03:04]
Brother what a fight the people saw[00:03:06]
Yes indeed[00:03:08]
And the sound[00:03:11]
