City Of Chicago Lyrics

City Of ChicagoIn the city of ChicagoAs the evening shadows fallThere are people dreamingOf the hills of DonegalEighteen forty sevenwas the year it all beganDeadly pains of hungerDrove a million from the landThey journeyed not for gloryTheir motive wasn´t greedA voyage of survivalAcross the storym seaSome of them knew fortuneSome of them knew fameMore of them knew hardshipDied upon the plainThey spread throughout the nationThey rode the railroad carsBrought their songs and musicTo ease their lonely hearts
