Lyrics Down to the Valley - Herman Frank

Down to the Valley

«Please tell me, Mule Skinner, why do you care
Which way I go on this bright summer’s day?
Ride east did you say?
Why should I go there?»
«Cause I have my decision
We’II ride west!»
I‘ve send them down
Down to the valley
I’ve send them down
Down to the ground
I’ve seen those shining eyes
They’re ready to fight
Heaven and earth will shake up tonight
I’ve seen how they died
Thousands of Indians won’t turn
And we will pay the price
«Don't you think that we should better stay?
And send some scouts to search a safer way?
Why do we have to go» asks the captain
Again — onward to glory ‘cause victory is certain
I sent them down, down into the valley
I sent them down, down to the ground
I’ve seen those shining eyes
They’re ready to fight
Heaven and earth will shake up tonight
I’ve seen how they died
Thousands of indians won’t turn
And we will pay the price
Pay the price, pay the price
