In The City Of Chicago Letra

In the city of Chicago As the evening shadows fall There are people dreaming Of the hills of Donegal Eighteen forty seven was the year it all began Deadly pains of hunger Drove a million from the land They journeyed not for glory Their motive wasn´t greed A voyage of survival Across the stormy sea Some of them knew fortune Some of them knew fame More of them knew hardship Died upon the plian They spread throughout the nation They rode the railroad cars Brought their songs and music To ease their lonely hearts
