Trail of Tears lyrics

Liars and murderers, pale faced intruders

Came one day to our shores

Years of deceit and injustice and greed

Led to the crimes and the wars

Hopelessly wronged, dragged from our homes

Placed into stockades

Loaded on wagons as cattle or sheep

Silently filled with this rage

And all through the nights, we sang and we cried

Holding on dearly

What gives you the right to do this

Who are the savages now!

It's a trail of tears

Keep the home fires burning

We're on a trail of tears

Were dreams go to die

Suffering and dying, enduring the cold

Oppression without regret

Wantonly stealing our land and our gold

The Cherokee will not forget

And all through the nights, we sang and we cried

Holding on dearly

Four thousand graves along the way

Who are the savages now!

It's a trail of tears

Keep the home fires burning

We're on a trail of tears

Were dreams go to die

And all through the nights, we sang and we cried

Holding on dearly

What gives you the right to do this

Who are the savages now!

It's a trail of tears

Keep the home fires burning

We're on a trail of tears

Were dreams go to die

It's a trail of tears

For the house we are yearning

We're on a trail of tears

Were dreams go to die

Were dreams go to die
