Текст песни Misc Unsigned Bands - Paper Lace - The Night Chicago Died

NC
Daddy was a cop,
on the east side of Chicago.
Back in the U.S..,
back in the bad old days.

In the heat of the 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 hoodlem 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 a hundered cops are dead.

(Chorus)

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 mama's face, and he brushed her tears away,

the night Chicago died. the night Chicago died.

(Chorus)(3 times)
