the outlaws (southern rock band) - trail of tears lyrics
trail of tears
(the outlaws)
amadahy was her name, she was cherokee
with the land she loved they lived in perfect harmony
her people thrived all through the appalachians
’til the white eye learned of all the gold buried within
trail of tears
death soldiers marched on them in 1838
she watched them burn their homes with a fire of hate
betrayed by treaties and the army’s grand old man
seven thousand troops led them to h-ll and back again
(trail of tears) i’m on the trail of tears (trail of tears)
lord i’m going down, (trail of tears), i’m on the trail of tears
(trail of tears) turn the whole world upside down
legend says where every mother’s tear fell, grows a cherokee rose
i hope old hickory is burning down in h-ll
with all the demons that drove him down that road
down the trail of tears
the last of them arrived in the spring of ’39
shattered her peoples hope, one heartbeat at a time
crockett and worcester, they fought for them in vain
they will always be remembered
in our hearts they will remain
(trail of tears) i’m on the trail of tears (trail of tears)
lord i’m going down, (trail of tears), down the trail of tears
(trail of tears) turn the whole world upside down
trail of tears
