Paper Lace - The Night Chicago Died слова песни
Daddy was a cop on the east side of ChicagoBack in the USAback in the bad old days.In the heat of a summer nightIn the land of the dollar bill.When the town of Chicago diedAnd they talk about it stillWhen a man named Al CaponeTried to make that town his own.And he called his gang to warWith the forces of the law.I heard my Mama cryI heard her pray the night Chicago died.Brotherwhat a night it really wasBrotherwhat a fight it really was.Glory be.I heard my Mama cryI heard her pray the night Chicago died.Brotherwhat a night the people sawBrotherwhat a fight the people saw.YesindeedAnd the sound of the battle rangTrough the streets of the old east side.Till the last of the hoodlum gangHad surrendered up or died.There was shouting in the streetAnd the sound of running feet.And I asked someone who said:`Bout a hundred cops are dead.I heard my Mama cry. . .Then there was no sound at allBut the clock upon the wallThen the door burst open wideAnd my Daddy stepped insideAnd he kissed my Mama`s faceAnd he brushed her tears awayThe night Chicago died.The night Chicago diedBrother what a night the people sawBrother what a fight the people sawYes indeed.The night Chicago diedThe night Chicago diedBrotherwhat a night it really wasBrotherwhat a fight it really wasGlory be.
