(the City Of) Chicago Lyrics - Singles - T. Duggins

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 

To the city of Chicago, as the evening shadows fall 

There are people dreaming of the hills of Donegal 

Some of them knew fortune and some of them knew fame 

More of them knew hardship, died upon the plane 

They spread throughout the nation, they rode the railroad cars 

Brought their songs and music to ease their lonely hearts
