Say the name, walking the sky
And we'll never know the reason why
Eight men on a Battleford wall
Singin' to the sun as the trap doors fall
Free, just like a red-winged blackbird
Free, just like a red-winged blackbird
Wandering spirit took his shot
Tom Quinn deserved all the lead he got
Little bear and miserable man
Standing guard over sacred land
Free, just like a red-winged blackbird
Free, just like a red-winged blackbird
ย
Eight dead by the red sunset
But they won't back down and they won't forget
To the shame of powerful men
Ol' whiskey Jack's gonna rise again
Free, just like a red-winged blackbird
Free, just like a red-winged blackbird
