The Night Chicago Died 歌詞
In the heat of a summer night

In the land of the dollar bill
在這物流地產的地方
When the town of Chicago died
那天在芝加哥死了
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
他要找幫派出來
With the forces of the law

I heard my mama cry
我聽見媽媽在哭泣
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
那天晚上我聽見他們在祈禱
Brother what a night it really was

And the sound of the battle rang
戰鬥的聲音
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
和那疾馳飛奔的腳步聲
And I asked someone who said

Bout a hundred cops are dead

And ther was no sound at all
街道上終於安靜了
But the clock upon the wall
聽見牆上的鐘叮噹響
Then the door burst open wide
門突然開了
And my daddy stepped inside
然後我爸爸走了進來
And he kissed my mama's face

And he brushed her tears away
