Three Chiefs - Marty Stuart[00:00:00]

Written by：Marty Stuart[00:00:00]

In a 4 by room at pine ridge on a cold December day[00:00:30]

A spirit come down from the heaven world to take red cloud away[00:00:38]

Mary and Jesus and the stars and stripes looked down on his bed[00:00:46]

Women brought snow in off the ground to cool his fevered head[00:00:54]

When the dust of his wars rolled in from the past[00:01:01]

Like storm clouds gathered from time[00:01:05]

He knew his day on earth had come to make his peace and die[00:01:09]

He raised his hand for mercy surrendered his last breath of life[00:01:17]

Then six white horses came into the room and took him to the sky[00:01:25]

Where he stood face to face with a mysterious form at the edge of eternity[00:01:34]

God said hello red cloud now say what you will to me[00:01:42]

Red cloud said[00:01:51]

I hope the great heavenly father who looks upon us[00:01:53]

Will give all the tribes his blessings[00:01:56]

That they may go forth in peace[00:02:00]

And live in peace all their days[00:02:03]

And that our heavenly father will look upon[00:02:07]

Our children as his children[00:02:09]

That all tribes may be his children[00:02:12]

And as we shake hands today on this broad plain[00:02:15]

May we forever live in peace[00:02:20]

Now my sun is set my day is done[00:02:23]

Just like the book says from the days of old[00:02:28]

No cross no crown[00:02:33]

At the end of the life at the setting sun[00:02:36]

We lay our burdens down[00:02:40]

We lay our burdens down[00:02:44]

When sitting bull laid down to sleep[00:02:54]

He didn't know when the morning come[00:02:57]

That red tomahawk and police force[00:03:01]

Armed with blazing guns[00:03:05]

Would storm into his cabin and drag him from his bed[00:03:09]

Throw him in the yard like a mangy dog[00:03:17]

Where he was shot and left for dead[00:03:20]

Murdered by Mclaughlin's men[00:03:25]

He never even had a chance[00:03:29]

All because he stayed true to the ghost in[00:03:32]

His heart and wouldn't give up the dance[00:03:35]

His horse started spinin' and twirling[00:03:40]

The world went round and round[00:03:44]

Everybody saw sitting bull's body[00:03:48]

But his soul was nowhere to be found[00:03:52]

He stood face to face with a mysterious form at the edge of eternity[00:03:57]

God said hello sitting bull now say what you will to me[00:04:05]

You made me an Indian and I thank you[00:04:15]

But father now I ask you[00:04:20]

What treaty have the Sioux made with the white man[00:04:23]

That we have broken[00:04:26]

Not one[00:04:28]

And what treaty has the white man ever[00:04:31]

Made with us that they have kept[00:04:33]

Not one[00:04:36]

Is it wrong for me to love my own and defend them[00:04:40]

Is it wicked for me because my skin red or because I am a Sioux[00:04:44]

I gladly died for my people and my country because I am an Indian[00:04:49]

Just like the book said from the days of old[00:05:01]

No cross no crown[00:05:06]

At the end of the life at the setting sun[00:05:09]

We lay our burdens down[00:05:13]

We lay our burdens down[00:05:17]

In a jailhouse in Nebraska[00:05:26]

It was on September 5[00:05:30]

Crazy horse was fighting hard to keep himself alive[00:05:34]

He screamed just like a panther[00:05:42]

At the sight of a guardhouse door[00:05:46]

Stabbed in the back by a soldier's dagger[00:05:50]

Crazy horse fell down on the floor[00:05:53]

He was the last warrior standing[00:05:58]

Defending the old way of life[00:06:01]

Where mountains sing and ponies run[00:06:05]

Like smoke from the sacred pipe[00:06:09]

Touch the clouds took his body[00:06:13]

Back home to his family[00:06:16]

Nobody knows where they laid him down[00:06:21]

To set his spirit free[00:06:25]

He stood face to face with a mysterious form at the edge of eternity[00:06:30]

God said[00:06:38]

Hello crazy horse now say what you will to me[00:06:39]

Upon suffering beyond suffering the red nation shall rise again[00:06:49]

And it shall be a blessing for a sick world[00:06:56]

A world filled with broken promises[00:07:01]

Selfishness and separations[00:07:03]

A world longing for light again[00:07:07]

I see a time of seven generations when all of the colors of mankind[00:07:11]

Will gather under the sacred tree of life[00:07:16]

And the whole earth will become one circle again[00:07:19]

And that day there will be those among the Lakota[00:07:23]

Who will carry knowledge[00:07:28]

And understanding of unity among all living things[00:07:29]

And the young white ones will come to those[00:07:34]

Of my people and ask for this wisdom[00:07:36]

I salute the light within your eyes[00:07:41]

For the whole universe dwells[00:07:44]

For when you are at that center within you[00:07:47]

And I am at that place within me[00:07:50]

We shall be one[00:07:53]

Three men three warriors[00:07:58]

Good and noble chiefs[00:08:02]

Prophets to their people[00:08:06]

May they rest a while in peace[00:08:09]

Their words echo like thunder through the canyons at time[00:08:13]

And shine like a flaming arrow in a world in a world[00:08:21]

The truth is hard to find[00:08:31]

No cross no crown[00:08:37]

No cross no crown[00:08:41]

No cross no crown[00:08:44]
