John Denver - Trail of Tears (Remastered)

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 tribes and burned corn
we're not welcome in our homeland anymore
There will be a trail of tears, there will be a trail of pain
Jackson will have the Mississippi and the twenty-dollar bill
but for us the trail is all that will remain

No more songs of the hunters on the buffalo 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 learn The Great Spirit's ways

There will be a trail of tears, there will be a trail of pain
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 every thing
But the old ones say there may be time learning from each other
the way that it had once been meant to be
But there is still a trail of tears, there is still a trail of pain
Jackson has got the Mississippi and the twenty-dollar bill
but for us the trail of tears is all that will remain
Jackson has got the Mississippi and the twenty-dollar bill
but how long will the trail of tears remain
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 tribes and burned corn
we're not welcome in our homeland anymore
There will be a trail of tears, there will be a trail of pain
Jackson will have the Mississippi and the twenty-dollar bill
but for us the trail is all that will remain

No more songs of the hunters on the buffalo 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 learn The Great Spirit's ways

There will be a trail of tears, there will be a trail of pain
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 every thing
But the old ones say there may be time learning from each other
the way that it had once been meant to be
But there is still a trail of tears, there is still a trail of pain
Jackson has got the Mississippi and the twenty-dollar bill
but for us the trail of tears is all that will remain
Jackson has got the Mississippi and the twenty-dollar bill
but how long will the trail of tears remain
