《The Night Chicago Died(Re-Recording)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Night Chicago Died(Re-Recording) - Paper Lace

[00:00:17] Daddy was a cop

[00:00:19] On the east side of Chicago

[00:00:21] Back in the USA

[00:00:23] Back in the bad old days

[00:00:27] In the heat of a summer night

[00:00:31] In the land of the dollar bill

[00:00:35] When the town of Chicago died

[00:00:39] And they talk about it still

[00:00:41] When a man named Al Capone

[00:00:44] Tried to make that town his own

[00:00:46] And he called his gang to war

[00:00:48] Against the forces of the law

[00:00:50] I heard my mama cry

[00:00:53] I heard her pray the night Chicago died

[00:00:59] Brother what a night it really was

[00:01:02] Brother what a fight it really was glory be

[00:01:06] I heard my mama cry

[00:01:10] I heard her pray the night Chicago died

[00:01:16] Brother what a night the people saw

[00:01:18] Brother what a fight the people saw yes indeed

[00:01:23] And the sound of the battle rang

[00:01:28] Through the streets of the old east side

[00:01:32] 'Til the last of the hoodlum gang

[00:01:36] Had surrendered up or died

[00:01:39] There was shouting in the street

[00:01:41] And the sound of running feet

[00:01:43] And I asked someone who said

[00:01:45] 'Bout a hundred cops are dead

[00:01:47] I heard my mama cry

[00:01:50] I heard her pray the night Chicago died

[00:01:56] Brother what a night it really was

[00:01:59] Brother what a fight it really was glory be

[00:02:03] I heard my mama cry

[00:02:07] I heard her pray the night Chicago died

[00:02:13] Brother what a night the people saw

[00:02:15] Brother what a fight the people saw yes indeed

[00:02:20] Then there was no sound at all

[00:02:25] But the clock upon the wall

[00:02:29] Then the door burst open wide

[00:02:32] And my daddy stepped inside

[00:02:34] And he kissed my mama's face

[00:02:36] And he brushed her tears away

[00:02:38] The night Chicago died

[00:02:44] The night Chicago died

[00:02:47] Brother what a night the people saw

[00:02:49] Brother what a fight the people saw glory be

[00:02:54] The night Chicago died

[00:03:01] The night Chicago died

[00:03:03] Brother what a night the people saw

[00:03:06] Brother what a fight the people saw yes indeed
