west is won lyrics
he grew up running with the western sioux
fighting crows, counting coup
til the buffalo jump cleared the plains
mr winchester took what remained

lost his brother in the indian wars
at little bigh+rn to custers h++rds
but he took eight scalps, a bayonet hole, a
hard heart, and a revolving colt

oh knife, horse and blood, it don’t pay to lose
when the west is won

she was the daughter of a mennonite hay farmer, she knew the prairie, the prairie knew hеr
until the crop dried up and blew away from a lack of rain duе to lack of faith
so her daddy looked for work with hat in hand, took a job with the livery in sutherland
til he got kicked by a green broke roan, never got up, never came home

hard work, horse and blood
it don’t pay to lose, when the west is won

so he took up riding in a western show
firing blanks of black powder smoke
he k!lled general custer every friday night
watched him die in the kerosene light
he got word about wounded knee, smoke twirled in the pale breeze
he cried for blood, prayed for peace
cut his braid in the shade of a cottonwood tree
oh knife, horse and blood, it don’t pay to lose, the west is won

she’s got forty acres of her own land, hunts what she could and grows what she can
sleeps with a lever action .44, she ain’t got no use for a man no more
orions belt shining true, she says i’ll search the sky for a sign of you
h+ll i’ve done you proud, look at these hands and leaves the light on for her old man

hard work, horse and blood
it don’t pay to lose, when the west is won
