[00:00.50]The Night Chicago Died
[00:07.50]- Paper Lace
[00:12.50]
[00:27.59]In the heat of a summer night
[00:32.56]In the land of the dollar bill
[00:36.70]When the town of Chicago died
[00:41.19]And they talk about it still
[00:43.47]When a man named Al Capone
[00:45.69]Tried to make that town his own
[00:47.85]And he called his gang to war
[00:50.10]With the forces of the law
[00:52.04]I heard my mama cry
[00:55.19]I heard her pray the night Chicago died
[01:01.57]Brother what a night it really was
[01:03.77]Brother what a fight it really was
[01:05.87]Glory be
[01:08.27]I heard my mama cry
[01:11.79]I heard her pray the night Chicago died
[01:18.11]Brother what a night the people saw
[01:20.32]Brother what a fight the people saw
[01:22.40]Yes indeed
[01:24.43]
[01:25.96]And the sound of the battle rang
[01:30.12]Through the streets of the old east side
[01:34.73]'Til the last of the hoodlum gang
[01:39.13]Had surrendered up or died
[01:41.32]There was shouting in the street
[01:43.62]And the sound of running feet
[01:45.83]And I asked someone who said
[01:48.10]Bout a hundred cops are dead
[01:49.83]I heard my mama cry
[01:53.07]I heard her pray the night Chicago died
[01:59.44]Brother what a night it really was
[02:01.66]Brother what a fight it really was
[02:03.86]Glory be!
[02:06.64]I heard my mama cry
[02:09.66]I heard her pray the night Chicago died
[02:16.01]Brother what a night the people saw
[02:18.21]Brother what a fight the people saw
[02:20.34]Yes indeed
[02:22.54]
[02:23.89]And ther was no sound at all
[02:28.02]But the clock upon the wall
[02:32.82]Then the door burst open wide
[02:34.83]And my daddy stepped inside
[02:37.06]And he kissed my mama's face
[02:39.20]And he brushed her tears away
[02:40.99]The night Chicago died
[02:44.21]La la la la......
[02:47.94]The night Chicago died
