Trail of tears (3:53) The indian land is dry You can hear the jackal cry All of you people Everybody get down get down There’s a hollow scream Keep your finger on the trigger There’s danger in every crack Yellow white or black Everybody head down head down There’s a hollow scream And the chief said, it’s not a dream I can’t wake you up, it’s not a dream Take cheer We’re all riding on the trail of tears And the land is red Burned and buried the dead Women and children Everybody put down put down There’s a hollow scream And the chief said, it’s not a dream I can’t wake you up, it’s not a dream You better take cheer We’re all riding on the trail of tears It’s a mistake The blood in Horseshoe Lake There’s no trace of regret Just the trace of the dead Put down put down I hear another hollow scream For another horrid scene And the chief said, it’s not a dream I can’t wake you up, it’s not a dream Take cheer (we’re riding on the trail of tears) It’s not a dream All the women and the children Everybody ooh, ooh (We’re riding on the trail of tears) We’re all riding on the trail of tears On the trail of tears, ooh We’re riding on the trail of tears We’re riding on the trail of tears  Muziek/tekst: Frédérique Spigt.
