Текст песни I Remember Joe

Oh, your golden lights of America

Joseph sought your prairies and your buffalo

And the humming of the rails down through Kansas

They brought Joseph in from Baltimore

The Cavalry, the Indians

And an old dan were his only friends

Then the old dan died and the Indians' plight

Made the Cavalry young Joe's enemy

Oh, the outlaws spilled the blood

Across the Kansas plains back in the '70's

Joseph took a badge for America

To defend you from your fantasies

Joseph wore that badge

Across the Kansas prairies to save the railroads

But the heroes that we made, well, they were

Ruthless soldiers who'd kill for goldNanci Griffith - I Remember Joe - http://ru.motolyrics.com/nanci-griffith/i-remember-joe-lyrics.html

With a broken heart for the frontier plains

Joseph sat a-rocking in his front-porch swing

That old tin badge is tarnished now

You know it was just a young man's dream

And old man's tales are hard to reach

When you don't believe in your American Dream

The Indians, the buffalo and old Joe Mason

They died from memory

Oh, your golden lights of America

Joseph sought your prairies and your buffalo

And the humming of the rails down through

Kansas, they brought Joseph in from Baltimore

The Cavalry, the Indians, and an old dan

Forsaken old man

Oh, your golden lights of America
