1871  was the year
 underneath  an October  sky
 When a windy  city man had
 set out  with a plan to set
 a fire  but nobody  knows why
 So Pegleg  headed out
back  with a match and a
bucket  of kerosene
Little  did he know that the
wind  would blow through
 the streets  with anarchy
Pegleg  didn't have an alibi
 He didn't  have a story to tell
 But he bought  his one way
ticket  straight to hell
 Cuz he burned  the
 whole damn city
 yeah Watched  it all go down
 Yeah he burned  all of
Chicago  to the ground
 yeah he burned  that
 beautiful city
 He torched  that
 beautiful town
 Yeah he burned  all of
 Chicago to  the ground
 The  Flames spread
 fast every night
 While they passed through
 the alleys  and the
dead  end streets
 From suburban  doors to
 the lakefront  shore
 demolishing everything
 And pegleg  never got
blamed  for the mess made
Said  he never broke  the law
 But all  that remained was
 the charred  black stains
 Proving every things  his fault
 (Repeat Refrain)
 (Repeat Chorus 1)
 Of all  the books
 printed  on his terrain
 None raised  the flag
 on one  mans legacy
 Now everybody
knows  the truth
 of the stories
 being exposed
 So Pegleg's  going
down  in infamy
 Cuz he burned  the
 whole damn city
 yeah Watched  it all go down
 Yeah he burned  all of
Chicago  to the ground
 yeah he burned  that
 beautiful city
 He torched  that
 beautiful town
 Yeah he burned  all of
 Chicago to  the ground
 Yeah he burned  all of
 Chicago  to the ground
 Yeah he burned  all of
 Chicago  to the ground
