The spirit horse of the cherokee
|
|
Original Liedtext
|
|
The trail of tears began for all the Cherokee
|
The white men came to trade & borrow but then they would not leave
|
Some of us were taken by boat, and died at sea
|
Those of us who lived were sold to slavery
|
|
We welcomed them as brothers knowing nothing of their greed
|
Born hunters not the hunted as the white man hunts for me
|
We are descendants of the animals we live among the free
|
Our trail of tears would end one day at Wounded Knee.
|
|
Great Spirit, thunder birds fly, we are wild and free
|
To fight and die by the open sky, Spirit Horse ride for me
|
|
When we do the Ghost Dance, the buffalo will return
|
Paint ourselves for war, now blood and fire burn
|
Great Spirit makes us strong, take us to the sky
|
The Cherokee are brave, we are not afraid to die
|
|
Great Spirit, thunder birds fly, we are wild and free
|
To fight and die by the open sky, Spirit Horse ride for me
|
|
Red Cloud, Black Hawk, Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Geronimo
|
Strong and brave warriors to the grave
|
|
There has been much killing there will be much more
|
The Medicine Man is dancing he's calling us to war,
|
Hatchets sing with pride let the white men die
|
|
Great Spirit, thunder birds fly, we are wild and free
|
To fight and die by the open sky, Spirit Horse ride for me
|
