Lyrics

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 a tribe at Burned Corn With not welcoming arms 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 hunter on the buffalo plain No more smoke from sacred fires touch these hills And the numbers of the people will grow fewer every mile And the children will not learn Great Spirit's will 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 how long will the trail of tears 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 for 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 Jackson's got the Mississippi and his twenty dollar bill But for us, the trail is all that will remain Jackson's got the Mississippi and his twenty dollar bill But how long will the trail of tears remain?
