Original Source: | LyricWiki |
Daddy was a cop, On the East side of Chicago, Back in the USA, Back in the bad old days, In the heat of a summer night, In the land of the dollar bill, When the town of Chicago died, And they talk about it still. When a man named Al Capone Tried to make that town his own, And he called his gang to war With the forces of the law. (Chorus) I heard my momma cry I heard her pray the night Chicago died. Brother, what a night it really was! Brother what a fight it really was! Glory Be! I heard my momma cry I heard her pray the night Chicago died. Brother, what a night the people saw! Brother what a fight the people saw! Yes, indeed! And 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 died. There was shouting in the street And the sound of running feet And I asked someone who said 'Bout a hundred cops are dead. (Chorus) Then there was no sound at all But the clock up on the wall (tick-tocking sound) Then the door burst open wide And my daddy stepped inside Then he kissed my momma's face And he brushed her tears away. The night Chicago died nana naaa nana naaaa nana naaaa na naaaa The night Chicago died Brother, what a night the people saw! Brother what a fight the people saw! Yes, indeed! The night Chicago died nana naaa nana naaaa nana naaaa na naaaa The night Chicago died Brother, what a night it really was! Brother what a fight it really was! Glory Be! |
