Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee
I have walked the white man's highway. I have seen his urban sprawl.
Take another piece of heaven, just to build a shopping mall.
Chorus:
Leave my bones up on the mountain. Send my spirit out to sea.
Let my people know my journey and bury my heart at Wounded Knee.
I have seen great mountains crumble to the shovels filled with coal.
Polluted rivers, stagnant waters, as we sell away our soul.
Repeat chorus:
Let us always fight the good fight even when our heroes fall.
Teach the children they are warriors and let them stand when justice calls
repeat chorus:

The Ballad of Silas Soule
His name was Silas Soule. A story that must be told.
In eighteen sixty -four, on a cold November morn
As troops prepared for battle dark clouds rolled over the sun.
Silas knew the Native People there. Treaties insured that all was fair
Tipis stood in peace while rifles stared.
Silas would not charge his command. They'll be no blood on his hands.
Chivington 's troops were told. By captain Silas Soule
The Indians fly the Stars and Stripes and the white flag of truce
Silas heard a woman scream, “Save the children turn the ponies loose”
Chivington and his men charged on and showed no mercy in the bloody dawn
Babies died that day at the Colonel's hands. Silas did not obey his command.
There is no blood on his hands.
BRIDGE :
And everything he believed in and everything he knew,
Would come to light, in a Denver court room.
With the Bible at his side, Silas testified.
About the massacre at Sand Creek Silas would not lie.
An assassin's shot took his life 'cause he brought the truth to light,
And he died for what was right.
His name was Silas Soule. The Truth is what he told.
An honest man he took a stand, he did not charge his command.
No blood upon his hands. [instrumetnal theme]
His name was Silas Soule

Crazy Horse Mountain
Washington sent George Custer they needed to pay some bills
The headlines read go west young man! There's gold in them there hills
So they packed up their mules and wagons, headed for our holy land
But our young men said it's a good day to die last stand for old Custer's Clan
Chorus:
“If I had the balls of a bison and the prick of a bull buffalo
I'd stand on top of Crazy Horse Mountain and piss on the bastards below.”
Crazy Horse took exception to the sounds of shovels and picks
Gold diggers ran, with gold in their pans, their bones in the river now sit
And sitting on top of Roosevelt's head the old man and me drinking wine
He said, “this mountain's changed, four Presidents came, and put up that new tourist sign.”
repeat Chours:
So now, many years later they've traded our gold for crude
Our young men fight for the government's might come home with a bad attitude
So we do what we can to enlighten and that's why we're here on Rushmore
Congressmen say they will help us we don't believe anymore

This Old Body (has carried me)
This old body has carried me
I've lived and loved and faced my fears
This old body has carried me
I've been happy and I've shed some tears
This old body has carried me
chorus:
This old body has carried me
It's tired and broke and I'm on my knees
Prayin' to the Lord and the Goddess I love
Let the winds carry me, set my spirit free
This old body has carried me
I've walked life's road and I've sung my songs
This old body has carried me
And I've done more good than I've done wrong
This old body has carried me
chorus
I've paid my dues and I worked real hard
This old body has carried me
Kept on going and I've played my cards
This old body has carried me

Ride Your Pony
chorus:
Ride your pony through Heaven tonight
Your horse awaits green grass and blue skies
They say where you're going all good cowgirls ride
So ride your pony through Heaven this night
I recall I was too small to walk
you carried me on that big brown bay
I fell asleep in your loving arms
in your loving arms, I felt safe that day
when I was four I was climbing aboard
my very own pony and you taught me to ride
Ride tall in the saddle and know you are love
This life is your journey the horse is your guide
Repeat chorus:
Your ride down here is over and done
I'm gonna miss you and the love that you gave
So climb aboard for one glorious ride
On to the trail that the Angels pave
Repeat chorus:

Earth And Water Dance
Now if a butterfly were to land on my guitar
I wouldn’t be surprised to see you there
I'd turn into a flower give you all the things you need
And I know you’d do the same for me
chorus:
Let the winds of heaven dance between us
Let every angel sing a sacred song
And every grain of sand be kissed by the mist of the ocean
Let the earth dance with water
Now if a thousand fairies were to dance around my head
I ‘d know it was you who sent them there
We’d fly in through your window and drop dust upon your bed
You’d hear the words we left unsaid
repeat chorus:
Now when my body dies they’ll be no last regrets
Even though I've traveled lonesome roads
All this time you’ve been there dancing in my heart
And knowing you has lightened up my load
repeat chorus:

Hammer in My Hand
chorus:
“If I die with a hammer in my hand I’ll die happy.
A little hard work never hurt an honest man. “
That’s what my father said.
I wish that I could be a little more like he was.
But he would always say,
“Live the life that God gives today and put a hammer in my hand.”
verse:
If a jobs worth doing then do it right.
Stick to a plan and don't lose sight.
You build it up, on solid ground.
Build it strong so it won't fall down
“ If I die with a Hammer in my hand I'll die happy.”
verse:
Hammer a nail it'll keep good time.
Hold on to your tools you'll be just fine.
You sing your songs. We work our hands.
You keep the beat. I've got the plans.
“If I die with a hammer in my hand I’ll die happy.
A little hard work never hurt an honest man. “
That’s what my father said.*
*Solo for rest of chorus music
When your day is done and its time to play
Just save some money for a hard rain day.
Have some fun. Keep your vision strong.
Stay true to your heart. Let your worries be gone!
chorus:
“If I die with a hammer in my hand I’ll die happy.
A little hard work never hurt an honest man. “
That’s what my father said.
I wish that I could be a little more like he was.
But he would always say,
“Live the life that God gives today and put a hammer in my hand.”
Outro:
“Keep the beat I've got the plan”
“Let your worries be gone”
“Live the life that God gives”
“Put a hammer in my hand”

Mary Sunshine
She was looking out the window of the last home that they made
The blue-bird was singing as the sun began to fade
She was hoping she could see him peeking through the distant clouds
When the wind started calling her great trees began to bow
She was standing in the kitchen washing off a single plate
With a smile on her lips 'memberin’ how he use to wait
For the cake that’s in the oven or what’s roasting in the pan
They had such a good life she was proud to take his hand
Chorus:
She heard his voice and it was calling like sweet summer rain
But it was December still she drifted back in time when he sang,
“You are my sunshine my only sunshine And U make me happy all of the time
You’ll never know dear how much I love you. U make me happy all of the time”
Now I'm lying in a lonely bed wishing you were here.
Holding me in your loving arms, wiping away my tears.
From all the times I've thought of you, and every time I cry.
'Til the Angels are here to take me to your arms and by your side.
Repeat chorus:

Green Man
When every blade of this green grass has turned a golden brown.
Summer burns forever and no children are around.
They've run off to the mountains and left you to wonder why.
chorus:
They'll be dancing in the forest soon.
And singing under a sweet full moon.
Calling out to the Green Man's tune,
“Won't you be my friend again?”
When every day's a red day, and you're praying for another blue.
No one's gonna say, “I told you so”, the thing you already knew.
They've run off to the mountains, and left you here to cry.
Repeat chorus:
If there ever was a hope. If you ever had a prayer.
Lessons you never cared to learn, have vanished to thin air.
So sing the song of the Green Man, under a cool blue sky
Repeat chorus:

No Train (Is Fast Enough)
Where I'm goin' you can't go.
Where I've been you'll never know.
Just these tears are all I leave behind.
There's no seed that you can sow
It don't matter what I say.
You won't ever go away!
Though I've tried to help you understand.
I guess I'm always in your plans.
chorus:
And there's no train that's fast enough for me.
There's no plane that I can fly.
If I could I would grow some wings.
No train is fast enough for me.
Some folks say you're crazy.
I think your thinking’s a little hazy.
If you're thinking I'd be better off with you.
I think you're just crazy too.
