Daddy was a cop
On the east
of Chicago
Back in the USA
Back in the
bad old boys
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
I heard my mama 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 mama 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
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
Bout a hundred
cops are dead
I heard my mama 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 mama 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 there was
no sound at all
But the clock
upon the wall
Then the door
burst open wide
And my daddy
stepped inside
And he kissed
my mama's face
And he brushed
her tears away
The night
Chicago died
The night
Chicago died
Brother what a
night the people saw
Brother what a
fight the people saw
Yes indeed
The night
Chicago died
The night
Chicago died
Brother what a
night it really was
Brother what a
fight it really was
Glory be
The night
Chicago died
The night
Chicago died
Brother what a
night the people saw
Brother what a
fight the people saw
Yes indeed
