John Denver - Trail Of Tears Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • This song was first released on the dreamland express album. it is the only album it has been released on.
  • No more beautiful moons may we spend on our land
  • In the north, the scarlet council talks of war
  • And the long knives have massacred the tribe and burned corn
  • Were not welcome in our homeland anymore
  • No more songs of the hunters on the baffalo plain
  • No more smoke from sacred fires touch these hills
  • And the numbers of the people grow fewer every mile
  • And our children will not leave the great spirits ways
  • There will be a trail of tears
  • There will be a trail of pain
  • And jackson will have the mississippi and the twenty dollar bill
  • But for us the trail is all that will remain
  • On the streets of rapid city
  • On the road to wounded knee
  • There is whiskey for forgetting everything
  • But the old ones say there may be time learning from each other
  • The way that it had once been meant to be
  • There is still a trail of tears
  • There is still a trail of pain
  • And jackson has got the mississippi and the twenty dollar bill
  • But for us the trail of tears remains
  • And jackson has got the mississippi and the twenty dollar bill
  • But how long will the trail of tears remain
  • Words and music by randy handley
