Paper Lace Miscellaneous The Night Chicago Died My daddy was a cop On the East Side of Chicago Back in the U.S.A. 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 to 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 Till 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 "About one hundred cops were dead" Chorus And then there was no sound at all But the clock upon the wall Tick tock, tick tock And then the door burst open wide And my daddy stepped inside And he kissed my momma's face And he brushed her tears away Chorus |
