Trail Of Tears

Song: Trail Of Tears
Artist: Heather Dale
Album: The Gabriel Hounds

All the leaves were turning brown
As we marched through Tennessee
Herding men like Moses did
Into the dusty sea

And though they cried to Jesus
Still we did as we was told
Mother Mercy looked away
The sky was thick with crows

They say there's a difference
Tween the white man and the red
That though they pray and work like me
They're something else instead

President Jackson says it's best
But he ain't the one to go
Mother mercy looked away
The sky was thick with crows

I marched down the trail of tears
With a rifle in my hand
With orders not to pick them up
If anyone couldn't stand

And though the sun was shining down
That trail to hell still froze
Mother mercy looked away
The sky was thick with crows

Daniel Thorton held his tongue
Till he couldn't hold it back
He raised his voice to the Major's guns
So they shot him in his tracks

Their bodies fed those feathered coats
On blackened wings they rose
Mother mercy looked away
The sky was thick with crows

What do you tell a mother
Who can't feed her starving child
How can you tell a boy of ten
To march a thousand miles

What do you tell your children
When they ask what words you chose
When mother mercy looked away
And he sky was thick with crows

This has to be one of my favorite songs by Heather Dale. It's got that Celtic feel with a bit of southern fried rock in it! Totally perfect!
