Lyrics City of Chicago - Christy Moore
To
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,
Just
a
voyage
of
survival,
Accross
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
them
knew
fame,
More
of
them
knew
hardship,
And
died
upon
the
plain,
They
spread
throughout
the
nation,
Rode
the
railroad
cars,
Brought
their
songs
and
music,
To
ease
their
lonely
hearts.
To
the
City
of
Chicago,
As
the
evening
shadows
fall,
There
are
people
dreaming,
Of
the
hills
of
Donegal.
