(Instrumental Intro)

We saw the buffalo roam, oh,oh,oh,oh
and the antelope play, as well
In this place from the past
we can't go back to, no,oh,oh,oh
Doesn't seem like it's right
Can't go back to the range
Not...back to the range, man

Looked to the skies, but saw no clouds, no, oh,oh,oh
Only smog and jet planes that now fill our world
Once in time this whole land it was ours, oh,oh,oh,oh
Jackson stole it from us with all of his lies
Sent us out with just tears
Oh, Trail of our tears, yeah

(Instrumental Break)


The proud Cherokee
were forced from our land by that fool
No one heard our pleas
as we were consigned to our doom
And we died on that cruel trail of tears
Sadness so deep in our hearts
Will we get justice some day?
our future is dark

Once watched the buffalo roam, oh,oh,oh,oh
and the antelope play, as well
We did not see a cloud in the skies, no, oh, oh, oh
and spoke not a discouraging word
Then got put on that Trail
Oh, Trail of our Tears, yeah

(Ohh - Ohh)
(Repeat to FADE)
