STAKING THE FLAG By Tom Jensen
Left, right, left, right, left, right
Keep on walking
Don't you look behind
Left, right, left, right, left, right, left
Keep on walking
Don't you look behind
Left, right, left, right, left, right
Keep on walking
Don't you look behind
If you do you know what you'll see
I said if you do
Then you'll know what you'll find...
A trail of tears...
One tear for every step
A trail of tears...
One tear for what couldn't be kept
A trail of tears...
One tear for every breath
A trail of tears...
One tear for every death
The Indians in their Teepees
Speakie English and say
'In trouble deepie"
The cavalry is about to charge
No dancing with wolves
When you're waltzing with Custard
Forced into building casinos
And inventing new mustard
The pilgrims with muskets
Are now at large
And with a box full of small pox
Expanding isn't very hard
Trade whiskey for deeds
Throw in a few beads
When you find a cross in the yard
Then you'll know it's in the bag
To put men on the moon
You know it's never too soon
Sometimes you have to push hard
When you're staking the flag
Left, right, left, right, left, right
Keep on walking
Don't you look behind
Left, right, left, right, left, right, left
Keep on walking
Don't you look behind
Left, right, left, right, left, right
Keep on walking
Don't you look behind
If you do you'll know what you'll see
I said if you do
Then you'll know what you'll find...
A trail of tears...
One tear for every step
A trail of tears...
One tear for what couldn't be kept
A trail of tears...
One tear for every breath
A trail of tears...
One tear for every death
