The great Chicago Fire friends	A
Will never be forgot	B
In the history of Chicago	C
It will remain a darken spot	B
It was a dreadful horrid sight	D
To see that City in flames	E
But no human aid could save it	F
For all skill was tried in vain	G
	-
In the year of	H
In October on the th	I
The people in that City then	J
Was full of life and great	K
Less than four days it lay in ruins	L
That garden City so great	K
Lay smouldering in ashes	M
In a sad and pitiful state	K
	-
It was a sad sad scene indeed	N
To see the fire arise	O
And hear the crackling of the flames	E
As it almost reached the skies	O
And sadder still to hear the moans	P
Of people in the flames	E
Cry for help and none could get	Q
Ah die where they remained	R
	-
To see the people run for life	S
Up and down the blazing streets	T
To find then their escape cut off	U
By the fiery flaming sheets	T
And others hunting for some friend	V
That perhaps they never found	W
Such weeping wailing never was known	X
For a thousands miles around	W
	-
Some people were very wealthy	Y
On the morning of the th	I
But at the close of the evening	Z
Was poor but felt content	A2
Glad to escape from harm with life	S
With friends they loved so well	B2
Some will try to gain more wisdom	C2
By the sad sight they beheld	A2
	-
Five thousand people were homeless	D2
Sad wanderers in the streets	T
With no shelter to cover them	E2
And no food had they to eat	A2
They wandered down by the lake side	A2
Lay down on the cold damp ground	A2
So tired and weary and homeless	D2
So the rich the poor was found	A2
	-
Mothers with dear little infants	F2
Some clinging to the breast	A2
People of every description	G2
All laid down there to rest	A2
With the sky as their covering	Z
Ah pillows they had none	G2
Sad oh sad it must have been	H2
For those poor homeless ones	L
	-
Neighboring Cities sent comfort	A2
To the poor lone helpless ones	L
And God will not forget them	E2
In all the years to come	C2
Now the City of Chicago	C
Is built up anew once more	I2
And may it never be visited	A2
With such a great fire no more	I2
