As I walked out in the streets of Chicago
As I walked out in Chicago one day
I spied a young boy/girl wrapped all in white linen
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
Oh beat their drum slowly and play their horn lowly
Sing the dead march as you carry them away.
Acknowledgement respectfully to God’s perished children;
God; bless them, bring them home, have mercy on their souls.
Just as I pray you will have mercy on me.
Note: I am not from nor am I at Chicago.
