Trail of Tears

Amadayee was her name — she was Cherokee
With the land she loved — they lived in perfect harmony
Her people thrived all through the Appalachians
'Till the wide eye learned of all the gold buried within…
TRAIL OF TEARS
Their soldiers marched on there in 1838
She watched them burn their homes — with a firey hate
Betrayed by treaties and the Army’s grand ol' man
7,000 troops led them through hell 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 for every mothers tear fell
Grows a Cherokee rose
I hope ol' Hickory is burning down in Hell
With all the demons and
Down the Trail of Tears
The last of them arrived in the Spring of '39
Shattered all her people’s hopes — one heartbeat at a time
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
(I'm on the Trail of Tears)
TRAIL OF TEARS
(Turn the whole world upside down)
