The Night Chicago Died

Daddy was a cop

On the east side of Chicago

Back in the U S A

Back in the bad old daysIn the heat of a summer night

In the land of the dollar bill

When the town of Chicago died

And they talk about it stillWhen a man named Al Capone

Tried to make that town his own

And he called his gang to war

Against the forces of the lawI heard my mama cry

I heard her pray the night Chicago died

Brother what a night it really was

Brother what a fight it really was, glory beI heard my mama cry

I heard her pray the night Chicago died

Brother what a night the people saw

Brother what a fight the people saw, yes indeedAnd the sound of the battle rang

Through the streets of the old east side

'Til the last of the hoodlum gang

Had surrendered up or diedThere was shouting in the street

And the sound of running feet

And I asked someone who said

'Bout a hundred cops are deadI heard my mama cry

I heard her pray the night Chicago died

Brother what a night it really was

Brother what a fight it really was, glory beI heard my mama cry

I heard her pray the night Chicago died

Brother what a night the people saw

Brother what a fight the people saw, yes indeedThen there was no sound at all

But the clock upon the wallThen the door burst open wide

And my daddy stepped inside

And he kissed my mama's face

And he brushed her tears awayThe night Chicago died

The night Chicago died

Brother what a night the people saw

Brother what a fight the people saw, yes indeedThe night Chicago died

The night Chicago died

Brother what a night it really was

Brother what a fight it really was, glory be
