1
Daddy was a cop on the East side of Chicago
2
Back in the USA back in the bad old days
3
In the heat of a summer night
4
In the land of the dollar bill
5
When the town of Chicago died
6
And they talk about it still
7
When a man named Al Capone
8
Tried to make that town his own
9
And he called his gang to war
10
With the forces of the law
11
I heard my mama cry
12
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
13
Brother what a night it really was
14
Brother what a fight it really was
15
Glory be
16
I heard my mama cry
17
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
18
Brother what a night the people saw
19
Brother what a fight the people saw
20
Yes indeed
21
And the sound of the battle rang
22
Through the streets of the old East side
23
'Til the last of the hoodlum gang
24
Had surrendered up or died
25
There was shouting in the street
26
And the sound of running feet
27
And I asked someone who said
28
"'Bout a hundred cops are dead"
29
I heard my mama cry
30
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
31
Brother what a night it really was
32
Brother what a fight it really was
33
Glory be
34
I heard my mama cry
35
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
36
Brother what a night the people saw
37
Brother what a fight the people saw
38
Yes indeed
39
Then there was no sound at all
40
But the clock upon the wall
41
Then the door burst open wide
42
And my daddy stepped inside
43
And he kissed my mama's face
44
And he brushed her tears away
45
The night Chicago died
46
Na na na, na na na, na na na na na
47
The night Chicago died
48
Brother what a night the people saw
49
Brother what a fight the people saw
50
Yes indeed
51
The night Chicago died
52
Na na na, na na na, na na na na na
53
The night Chicago died
54
Brother what a night it really was
55
Brother what a fight it really was
56
Glory be
The Night Chicago Died
