“The Night"
[vonHummer]

The night Chicago died, They drove Ol’ Dixie down
And the lights went out in Georgia,
And I heard my Mama cry, and all the people were singin’:
Brother, what a night to fight a backwoods southern lawyer! na-na-na, na-na, na-na-naaaa....

Virgil kane, candletop, land of the dollar bill,
Al capone, cheatin’ wife, tore up the tracks again,
He said hey, just eighteen, and to tell you the truth I been with her myself...

The night Chicago died, They drove Ol’ Dixie down
And the lights went out in Georgia,
And I heard my Mama cry, and all the people were singin’:
Brother, what a night to fight a backwoods southern lawyer! na-na-na, na-na, na-na-naaaa....

Tracks too small, clock upon the wall, there goes the Robert E. Lee,
Little Sis choppin’ wood; shouting in the streets,
Flag ‘em down, Mama’s face don’t care if the Georgia Patrol’s no good...

The night Chicago died, They drove Ol’ Dixie down
And the lights went out in Georgia,
And I heard my Mama cry, and all the people were singin’:
Brother, what a night to fight a backwoods southern lawyer! na-na-na, na-na, na-na-naaaa....

Big bellied sheriff burst open wide,
And my Daddy stepped inside the sound of running feet,
When a Yankee bullet laid him in the street til the last of the hoodlum gang
Surrendered my brother in a make-believe trial...

The night Chicago died, They drove Ol’ Dixie down
And the lights went out in Georgia,
And I heard my Mama cry, and all the people were singin’:
Brother, what a night to fight a backwoods southern lawyer! na-na-na, na-na, na-na-naaaa....
