0:18Daddy was a cop
0:20On the east side of Chicago
0:22Back in the U S A
0:25Back in the bad old days
0:28In the heat of a summer night
0:33In the land of the dollar bill
0:37When the town of Chicago died
0:42And they talk about it still
0:44When a man named Al Capone
0:46Tried to make that town his own
0:48And he called his gang to war
0:51Against the forces of the law
0:52I heard my mama cry
0:56I heard her pray the night Chicago died
1:02Brother what a night it really was
1:04Brother what a fight it really was glory be
1:09I heard my mama cry
1:12I heard her pray the night Chicago died
1:19Brother what a night the people saw
1:21Brother what a fight the people saw yes indeed
1:26And the sound of the battle rang
1:31Through the streets of the old east side
1:35'Til the last of the hoodlum gang
1:40Had surrendered up or died
1:42There was shouting in the street
1:44And the sound of running feet
1:47And I asked someone who said
1:49'Bout a hundred cops are dead
1:51I heard my mama cry
1:54I heard her pray the night Chicago died
2:00Brother what a night it really was
2:02Brother what a fight it really was glory be
2:07I heard my mama cry
2:11I heard her pray the night Chicago died
2:17Brother what a night the people saw
2:19Brother what a fight the people saw yes indeed
2:25Then there was no sound at all
2:29But the clock upon the wall
2:34Then the door burst open wide
2:36And my daddy stepped inside
2:38And he kissed my mama's face
2:41And he brushed her tears away
2:42The night Chicago died
2:49The night Chicago died
2:52Brother what a night the people saw
2:54Brother what a fight the people saw yes indeed
2:59The night Chicago died
3:06The night Chicago died
3:09Brother what a night it really was
3:11Brother what a fight it really was glory be
3:16The night Chicago died
