The Night Chicago Died - Paper Lace Song Lyrics


Daddy was a cop
On the east side of chicago
Back in the usa
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 law
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 rangThrough 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
I heard my momma cryI heard her pray the night chicago diedBrother, what a night it really was
Brother, what a fight it really was
Glory beI 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 sawYes, indeed
Then there was no sound at all
But the clock up on the wall
Then the door burst open wide
And my daddy stepped inside
And he kissed my momma's face
Then brushed her tears away
The night chicago died
(nanananananananananana)
The night chicago died
Brother, what a night the people saw
Brother, what a fight the people saw
yes, indeed
The night chicago died
(nanananananananananana)
The night chicago died
Brother, what a night it really was
Brother, what a fight it really was
Glory be
The night chicago died
(nanananananananananana)
The night chicago died
