La Noche Que Murió Chicago

Dad was working
When we lived in Chicago
Always a cop he was
Always on the right side of the law
One summer night
In the land of the dollar
What all of Chicago saw
Let me explain to you
When Mr. Al Capone
Took over the city
He called his gang
With the forces of the lord
I heard my mother cry
The night Chicago died
Brother, what a night God sent
Brother, what a brutal war
Glory and peace
I heard my mother cry
The night Chicago died
Brother, what a night God sent
That war everyone saw
I saw it
The sound in the streets was
In the south of the big city
A relentless war
Until it all ended
Someone shouted
Among the running people
In the streets they died
More than a hundred cops
I heard my mother cry
The night Chicago died
Brother, what a night God sent
Brother, what a brutal night
Glory and peace
I heard my mother cry
The night Chicago died
Brother, what a night God sent
That war everyone saw
I saw it
And then nothing sounded
Only the clock was heard
Behind the opening door
My father appeared
He kissed my mother
And dried her tears
The night he died
Brother, what a night God sent
Brother, what a brutal war
Glory and peace
The night he died
Brother, what a night God sent
That war everyone saw
I saw it
Chicago died
Brother, what a night God sent
Brother, what a brutal war
Glory and peace
The night he died
