It Is A Good Day To Die - Robbie Robertson[00:00:00]
The general rode for sixteen days[00:00:22]
The horses were thirsty and tired[00:00:27]
On the trail of a renegade chief[00:00:31]
One he'd come to admire[00:00:36]
The soldiers hid behind the hills[00:00:41]
That surrounded the village[00:00:46]
And he rode down to warn the chief[00:00:50]
They'd come to conquer and pillage[00:00:55]
Lay down your arms[00:01:00]
Lay down your spear[00:01:05]
The chief's eyes were sad[00:01:09]
But showed no sign of fear[00:01:13]
It is a good day to die[00:01:22]
Oh my children dry your eyes[00:01:28]
It is a good day to die[00:01:33]
He spoke of the days before the white man came[00:01:38]
With his guns and whisky[00:01:42]
He told of a time a long ago[00:01:47]
Before what you call history[00:01:51]
The general couldn't believe his words[00:01:56]
Nor the look on his face[00:02:01]
But he knew these people would rather die[00:02:06]
Then have to live in this disgrace[00:02:10]
What law have I broken[00:02:15]
What wrong have I done[00:02:20]
That makes you want up bury me[00:02:24]
Upon this trail of blood[00:02:29]
It is a good day to die[00:02:36]
Oh my children dry your eyes[00:02:43]
It is a good day to die[00:02:48]
We cared for the land and the land cared for us[00:03:11]
And that's the way it's always been[00:03:16]
Never asked for more never asked too much[00:03:21]
And now you tell me this is the end[00:03:26]
I laid down my weapon[00:03:30]
Laid down my bow[00:03:35]
Now you want to drive me out[00:03:39]
With no place left to go[00:03:44]
It is a good day to die[00:03:51]
Oh my children dry your eyes[00:03:58]
It is a good day to die[00:04:03]
And he turned to his people and said dry your eyes[00:04:08]
We've been blessed and we are thankful[00:04:14]
Raise your voices to the sky[00:04:18]
It is a good day to die[00:04:22]
Oh my children dry your eyes[00:04:26]
Raise your voices to the sky[00:04:36]
It is a good day to die[00:04:40]
