| [00:18.34] |
Daddy was a cop |
| [00:19.96] |
on the east side of Chicago |
| [00:22.66] |
Back in the U.S.A. |
| [00:24.60] |
back in the bad old days |
| [00:27.79] |
In the heat of a summer night |
| [00:32.34] |
In the land of the dollar bill |
| [00:36.93] |
When the town of Chicago died |
| [00:41.47] |
And they talk about it still |
| [00:43.79] |
When a man named Al Capone |
| [00:45.74] |
Tried to make that town his own |
| [00:48.06] |
And he called his gang to war |
| [00:50.31] |
With the forces of the law |
| [00:52.15] |
I heard my mama cry |
| [00:55.46] |
I heard her pray the night Chicago died |
| [01:01.66] |
Brother what a night it really was |
| [01:03.85] |
Brother what a fight it really was |
| [01:06.27] |
Glory be! |
| [01:08.86] |
I heard my mama cry |
| [01:12.21] |
I heard her pray the night Chicago died |
| [01:18.28] |
Brother what a night the people saw |
| [01:20.52] |
Brother what a fight the people saw |
| [01:23.12] |
Yes indeed! |
| [01:26.17] |
And the sound of the battle rang |
| [01:30.56] |
Through the streets of the old east side |
| [01:35.05] |
'Til the last of the hoodlum gang |
| [01:39.58] |
Had surrendered up or died |
| [01:41.91] |
There was shouting in the street |
| [01:44.11] |
And the sound of running feet |
| [01:46.46] |
And I asked someone who said |
| [01:48.55] |
"'Bout a hundred cops are dead!" |
| [01:50.37] |
I heard my mama cry |
| [01:54.00] |
I heard her pray the night Chicago died |
| [02:00.15] |
Brother what a night it really was |
| [02:02.09] |
Brother what a fight it really was |
| [02:04.30] |
Glory be! |
| [02:07.01] |
I heard my mama cry |
| [02:10.48] |
I heard her pray the night Chicago died |
| [02:16.67] |
Brother what a night the people saw |
| [02:18.80] |
Brother what a fight the people saw |
| [02:20.92] |
Yes indeed! |
| [02:23.95] |
And there was no sound at all |
| [02:28.56] |
But the clock upon the wall |
| [02:30.92] |
Then the door burst open wide |
| [02:35.74] |
And my daddy stepped inside |
| [02:37.80] |
And he kissed my mama's face |
| [02:39.88] |
And he brushed her tears away |
| [02:41.66] |
The night Chicago died |
| [02:45.00] |
(Na-na na, na-na-na, na-na-na) |
| [02:48.60] |
The night Chicago died |
| [02:51.12] |
Brother what a night the people saw |
| [02:53.50] |
Brother what a fight the people saw |
| [02:55.58] |
Yes indeed! |
| [02:58.26] |
The night Chicago died |
| [03:01.71] |
(Na-na na, na-na-na, na-na-na) |
| [03:05.25] |
The night Chicago died |
| [03:07.76] |
Brother what a night it really was |
| [03:09.91] |
Brother what a fight it really was |
| [03:12.23] |
Glory be! |
| [03:15.51] |
The night Chicago died |
| [03:18.36] |
(Na-na na, na-na-na, na-na-na) |
| [03:21.64] |
The night Chicago died |
| [03:24.52] |
Brother what a night the people saw |
| [03:26.79] |
Brother what a fight the people saw |
| [03:29.18] |
Yes indeed! |
| [03:31.39] |
