X-Files Episodes movie - The Night Chicago Died lyrics
rate meSong by Paper Lace<br /><br>
In the heat of a summer night<br>
In the land of the dollar bill<br>
When the town of Chicago died<br>
And they talk about it still<br>
<br>
When a man named Al Capone<br>
Tried to make that town his own<br>
And he called his gang to war<br>
With the forces of the law<br>
<br>
I heard my mama cry<br>
I heard her pray the night Chicago died<br>
Brother what a night it really was<br>
Brother what a fight it really was<br>
Glory be<br>
<br>
I heard my mama cry<br>
I heard her pray the night Chicago died<br>
Brother what a night the people saw<br>
Brother what a fight the people saw<br>
Yes indeed<br>
<br>
And the sound of the battle rang<br>
Through the streets of the old east side<br>
'Til the last of the hoodlum gang<br>
Had surrendered up or died<br>
<br>
There was shouting in the street<br>
And the sound of running feet<br>
And I asked someone who said<br>
Bout a hundred cops are dead<br>
<br>
I heard my mama cry<br>
I heard her pray the night Chicago died<br>
Brother what a night it really was<br>
Brother what a fight it really was<br>
Glory be!<br>
<br>
I heard my mama cry<br>
I heard her pray the night Chicago died<br>
Brother what a night the people saw<br>
Brother what a fight the people saw<br>
Yes indeed<br>
<br>
And ther was no sound at all<br>
But the clock upon the wall<br>
Then the door burst open wide<br>
And my daddy stepped inside<br>
And he kissed my mama's face<br>
And he brushed her tears away<br>
<br>
The night Chicago died<br>
The night Chicago died<br>
Brother what a night the people saw<br>
Brother what a fight the people saw<br>
Yes indeed<br>
<br>
The night Chicago died<br>
The night Chicago died<br>
Brother what a night it really was<br>
Brother what a fight it really was<br>
Glory be<br>
<br>
The night Chicago died<br>
The night Chicago died<br>
Brother what a night the people saw<br>
Brother what a fight the people saw<br>
Yes indeed<br>
<br>
