The marchin' band came down along main street
The soldier blues fell in behind
I looked across and there I saw Billy
Waiting to go and join the line
And with her head upon his shoulder
His young and lovely fiancee
From where I stood I saw she was cryin'
And through her tears I heard her say

Billy don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life
Billy don't be a hero, come back and make me your wi-i-ife
And as Billy started to go-o
She said keep your pretty head low-ow-ow-ow
Billy don't be a hero, come back to me-ee

The soldier blues were trapped on a hillside
The battle ragin' all around
The sergeant cried, we've gotta hang on boys
We've gotta hold this piece of ground
I need a volunteer to ride out
And bring us back some extra men
And Billy's hand was up in a moment
Forgettin' all the words she said, she said

Billy don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your li-ife
Billy don't be a hero, come back and make me your wi-i-ife
And as Billy started to go-o
She said keep your pretty head low-ow-ow-ow
Billy don't be a hero, come back to me-ee

I heard his fiancee got a letter
That told how Billy died that day-ay
The letter said he was a hero
She should be proud he died that way
I heard she threw the letter away...

Daddy was a cop
On the East Side of Chicago
Back in the USA
Back in the bad old days

In the heat of a summer night
In the land of the dollar bill
When the town of Chicago died
And they talk about it still

When a man named Al Capone
Tried to make that town his own
And he called his gang to war
Against the forces of the law

I heard my momma cry
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
Brother, what a night it really was
Brother, what a fight it really was
Glory be

I heard my momma 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

I heard my momma cry
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
Brother, what a night it really was
Brother, what a fight it really was
Glory be

I heard my momma 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

Then there was no sound at all
But the clock up on the wall
Then the door burst open wide
And my daddy stepped inside
And he kissed my momma's face
Then brushed her tears away

I heard my momma cry
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
Brother, what a night it really was
Brother, what a fight it really was
Glory be

I heard my momma 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

The night Chicago died
The night Chicago died
Brother, what a night it really was
Brother, what a fight it really was
Glory be

The night Chicago died
The night Chicago died

Recently in your eyes I see
There's been a change in you
And the one said now all seems dead
And I just don't know what to do
최근에 당신 눈을 보면,
당신에게 변화가 있다는걸 알 수 있어요
모든 사랑이 사라진것 같다고
아무도 말하지 않았지만,
그저 어떻게 해야 할지 모르겠어요
Oh my darling you cannot hide
The love you once had for me has died
Oh my darling you cannot hide
The love you once had for me has died
그대는 한때 가졌던 나에 대한 사랑이 식었다는
사실을 숨길 수는 없어요
그대는 한때 가졌던 나에 대한 사랑이 식었다는
사실을 숨길 수는 없어요
Yet my tender at the tournament
And let me your champion be
And if I win would you take me in
Into your chambers secretly
그래도 아직은 사랑을 얻기 위한 경기에서,
내가 당신의 사랑을 얻는 우승자가 되게 해주세요.
내가 이긴다면,
당신 방으로 은밀히 날 데려가 주세요
Oh my darling you cannot hide
The love you once had for me has died
Oh my darling you cannot hide
The love you once had for me has died
그대는 한때 가졌던 나에 대한 사랑이 식었다는
사실을 숨길 수는 없어요
그대는 한때 가졌던 나에 대한 사랑이 식었다는
사실을 숨길 수는 없어요
Ask me who do I think of
When a moon is high and bright
Ask me who do I dream of
Well I dream of you tonight
달이 저 높이 떠올라 밝게 비출 때
내가 누구를 생각하고 있는지 물어보세요.
내가 누구를 꿈꾸는지 물어보세요.
오늘밤 난 당신 꿈을 꾸어요.
At morning mass no glance you pass
So meet me at Nottingham Fair
I know you now fulfill me now
I don't even know if you'll be there
이른 아침 모임에서 지나가는 당신을 보지 못했지만,
노팅엄 축제에서 나와 만나기로 해요.
이젠 당신이 내 바램을 이루어 줄거란걸 알지만,
당신이 그 곳에 과연 있을지 모르겠어요
Oh my darling you cannot hide
The love you once had for me has died
Oh my darling you cannot hide
The love you once had for me has died
그대는 한때 가졌던 나에 대한 사랑이 식었다는
사실을 숨길 수는 없어요
그대는 한때 가졌던 나에 대한 사랑이 식었다는
사실을 숨길 수는 없어요

Recently in your eyes I see
There's been a change in you
And the one said now all seems dead
And I just don't know what to do

* Oh my darling you cannot hide
The love you once had for me has died
Oh my darling you cannot hide
The love you once had for me has died

Yet my tender at the tournament
And let me your champion be
And if I win would you take me in
into your chambers secretly

(Repeat *)

Ask me who do I think of
When a moon is high and bright
Ask me who do I dream of
Well I dream of you tonight

At morning mass no glance you pass
So meet me at Nottingham Fair
I know you now fulfill me now
I don't even know if you'll be there
