The Legend Of Pegleg Sullivan Lyrics - Allister

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 

'cause he burned the whole damn city 

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 

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 

Pegleg didn't have an alibi 

He didn't have a story to tell 

But he bought his one way ticket straight to hell 

'cause he burned the whole damn city 

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 

Of all the books printed on history 

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. 

'cause he burned the whole damn city 

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
