Jamming around a song of mine called Blue Coats

lyrics

not all of us were gentle when the blue coats came
not all of them were killers the effect was the same
in the past true it was when the blue coats came
bringing devastation continuous today

who do you call the savage who laid the long trail of tears?

whirling dervish death when the blue coats came
harvesting the children the women and men
massacre without warning when the bluecoats came
martyr red early morning like buffalo from the train

who do you call the savage who laid the long trail of tears?

refrain:
winter and spring mountain stream birchbark boats on the great lake
summer and fall adobe wall prairie wind scented my way

the land that we walked when the blue coats came
no one of us could sell what was not in our name
spinning in the firmament when the blue coats came
spiritual spiraling ancient star plan

who do you call the savage who laid the long trail of tears?
