Daley’s Gone Steve Goodman

Richard J. Daley was the Mayor of our town
'til that cold day in December when
They laid him in the ground
Daley's gone, one more round
Daley's gone

And he was always known as the working man's pal
That's 'cause he grew up in Bridgeport
And he studied law at De La Salle

And Daley's gone, one more round
Daley's gone

He was first elected Mayor in 1955
When half the people here tonight
Were not as yеt alive

Daley's gone, onе more round
Daley's gone

When it came to building tall buildings
No job was too tough
Daley built McCormick Place twice
Because once was not enough

Daley's gone, one more round
Daley's gone
