Lyrics
Original Source:LyricWiki
Daddy was a cop,
On the East side of Chicago,
Back in the USA,
Back in the bad old days,

In the heat of a 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.

(Chorus)
I heard my momma 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 momma 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
'Til the last of the hoodlum gang
Had surrendered up or died.

There was shouting in the street
And the sound of running feet
And I asked someone who said
'Bout a hundred cops are dead.

(Chorus)

Then there was no sound at all
But the clock up on the wall
(tick-tocking sound)

Then the door burst open wide
And my daddy stepped inside
Then he kissed my momma's face
And he brushed her tears away.

The night Chicago died
nana naaa nana naaaa nana naaaa na naaaa
The night Chicago died
Brother, what a night the people saw!
Brother what a fight the people saw!
Yes, indeed!
The night Chicago died
nana naaa nana naaaa nana naaaa na naaaa
The night Chicago died
Brother, what a night it really was!
Brother what a fight it really was!
Glory Be!
