The Night Chicago Died - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)[00:00:00]
Daddy was a cop[00:00:18]
On the east side of Chicago[00:00:20]
Back in the USA[00:00:23]
Back in the bad old days[00:00:25]
In the heat of a summer night[00:00:28]
In the land of the dollar bill[00:00:32]
When the town of Chicago died[00:00:37]
And they talk about it still[00:00:41]
When a man named Al Capone[00:00:43]
Tried to make that town his own[00:00:46]
And he called his gang to war[00:00:48]
Against the forces of the law[00:00:50]
I heard my mama cry[00:00:52]
I heard her pray the night Chicago died[00:00:55]
Brother what a night it really was[00:01:01]
Brother what a fight it really was, glory be[00:01:04]
I heard my mama cry[00:01:08]
I heard her pray the night Chicago died[00:01:12]
Brother what a night the people saw[00:01:18]
Brother what a fight the people saw, yes indeed[00:01:20]
And the sound of the battle rang[00:01:26]
Through the streets of the old east side[00:01:30]
'Til the last of the hoodlum gang[00:01:34]
Had surrendered up or died[00:01:39]
There was shouting in the street[00:01:41]
And the sound of running feet[00:01:43]
And I asked someone who said[00:01:45]
'Bout a hundred cops are dead[00:01:47]
I heard my mama cry[00:01:49]
I heard her pray the night Chicago died[00:01:53]
Brother what a night it really was[00:01:59]
Brother what a fight it really was, glory be[00:02:01]
I heard my mama cry[00:02:06]
I heard her pray the night Chicago died[00:02:09]
Brother what a night the people saw[00:02:15]
Brother what a fight the people saw, yes indeed[00:02:18]
Then there was no sound at all[00:02:23]
But the clock upon the wall[00:02:27]
Then the door burst open wide[00:02:32]
Daddy And my stepped inside[00:02:34]
And he kissed my mama's face[00:02:36]
And he brushed her tears away[00:02:38]
The night Chicago died[00:02:40]
The night Chicago died[00:02:43]
Brother what a night the people saw[00:02:50]
Brother what a fight the people saw, yes indeed[00:02:52]
The night Chicago died[00:02:57]
The night Chicago died[00:03:00]
Brother what a night it really was[00:03:06]
Brother what a fight it really was, glory be[00:03:08]
The night Chicago died[00:03:13]
The night Chicago died[00:03:17]
