Trail of Tears
John Denver
No more beautiful moons may we spend on our lands And the long knives have massacred the tribe and burned corn We?re not welcome in our homeland any more There will be a trail of tears There will be a trail of pain dollar bill But for us the trail is all that will re main No more songs of the hunters on the buffalo plain And the numbers of the people will grow fewer every mile And our children will not learn the Great Spirits way There will be a trail of tears There will be a trail of pain dollar bill But for us the trail is all that will re main On the streets of Rapid City on the road to Wounded Knee But the old ones say there may be time from 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 dollar bill But for us the trail of tears re main bill But how long will the trail of tears re main
