I heard my mama 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. Billy Dont Be a Hero. Hitchin A Ride 74. I Did What I Did For Maria.

Paper Lace were the first act to record Billy, Dont Be A Hero, the halfassed tearjerker story-song that briefly conquered America. Paper Lace took the song to 1 in the UK, but as they were planning the songs American release, a band of cheery Ohio goofs called Bo Donaldson And The Heywoods recorded their own cover of Billy, Dont Be A Hero, and thats the one that made it to 1 in the US. In terms of actual American history, The Night Chicago Died is a straight-up travesty, a gleeful mangling of anything even vaguely resembling facts. CD Album. CD Single.
