Custer's Blues |
Well you look just like General Custer |
On the day of his last stand |
Heading up into the black hills |
Glorious and grand |
I saw it by your side |
A map in your hand |
Heading up into the rain |
Singing «This land is your land» |
Now I’ve seen your dust a-rising |
And I’ve seen your numbers swell |
I’ve seen you crossing the badlands |
And I’ve heard your captains yell |
I’ve watched you when you’re sleeping |
I’ve seen you filling up your can |
Thinking as you work |
That this land is your land |
But now you’re bursting into my country |
You’re messing up my fields |
You’re playing games with my holy places |
You’re tearing the earth with your wheels |
Right now your star is ascending |
And your head is bursting with pride |
But I wonder if Custer was still singing |
«This land is my land» when he died |
Was he still singing «this is my land» when he died |
Was he singing that it’s my land when he died |
Was he singing when he died |
Was he singing when he died |
Was he singing it’s my land when he died |
When he died… |
Was he singing when he died |
