As Long As The Grass - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]

As long as the moon shall rise as long as the rivers flow[00:00:31]

As long as the sun will shine as long as the grass shall grow[00:00:49]

The Senecas are an Indian tribe of the Iroquios nation[00:01:08]

Down on the New York Pennsylvania Line you'll find their reservation[00:01:13]

After the US revolution cornplanter was a chief[00:01:17]

He told the tribe these men they could trust that was his true belief[00:01:21]

He went down to Independence Hall and there was a treaty signed[00:01:26]

That promised peace with the USA and Indian rights combined[00:01:30]

George Washington gave his signature the Government gave its hand[00:01:35]

They said that now and forever more that this was Indian land[00:01:39]

As long as the moon shall rise [00:01:44]

As long as the rivers flow[00:01:53]

As long as the sun will shine as long as the grass shall grow[00:02:02]

On the Seneca reservation there is much sadness now[00:02:20]

Washington's treaty has been broken and there is no hope no how[00:02:24]

Across the Allegheny River they're throwing up a dam[00:02:29]

It will flood the Indian country a proud day for Uncle Sam[00:02:33]

It has broke the ancient treaty with a politician's grin[00:02:38]

It will drown the Indians graveyards cornplanter can you swim[00:02:42]

The earth is mother to the the Senecas they're trampling sacred ground[00:02:49]

Change the mint green earth to black mud flats as honor hobbles down[00:02:53]

As long as the moon shall rise [00:02:57]

As long as the rivers flow (are you thirsty)[00:03:06]

As long as the sun will shine[00:03:15]

As long as the grass shall grow[00:03:24]
