Oh how we used to hate the sight[00:00:44]

Of the evil rent collector coming in the night[00:00:51]

Got to tithe the 40 bushels but it don't seem right[00:00:56]

Up to the manor house to pay the Great Patroon[00:00:59]

We had taken a wilderness[00:01:05]

And turned the Earth to bounty by the rake's caress[00:01:09]

Never owning what we tilled below the crescent moon[00:01:13]

Up to the manor house to pay the Great Patroon[00:01:18]

The sheriff was about to sell their cows[00:01:26]

Or otherwise extort the rent[00:01:30]

So they met in barns and in out of the way places[00:01:35]

To scheme all night on how to gain their ends[00:01:39]

What do you wear for civil war in 1844[00:01:44]

In upstate New York[00:01:49]

What do you wear for civil war in 1844[00:01:51]

In upstate New York[00:01:56]

These Indians wore Calico dresses[00:02:01]

Belted at the waist[00:02:04]

Red flannel pantaloons[00:02:19]

Oh Those masks were awful looking things[00:02:21]

With fringe around the neck[00:02:23]

Horns upon the forehead[00:02:25]

Coarse animal hair glued on for a beard[00:02:26]

At this pow-wow among the grotesque[00:02:30]

The chief wore a striped calico long lady's dress[00:02:38]

Blow the tin dinner horn over the valley[00:02:43]

Call all the formerly normal men to revolt and rally[00:02:46]

The Feudal Land Laws should be abolished[00:02:53]

What are you waiting for it's 1844[00:03:03]

The worm has begun to turn[00:03:05]

I saw those Calicos scorn and spurn their accusers[00:03:06]

With threatening talk and rough tough threatening gestures[00:03:28]

The feeling waxed stronger and stronger[00:03:39]

Stronger and stronger[00:03:42]

They tried to talk like real Indians might[00:03:57]

Me want cider and the like[00:04:02]

Many a head had worn this crown of feathers[00:04:05]

Had tried to be the leader of the Anti-Rent Rioters[00:04:14]

I recognized it as having belonged to a left-handed neighbor[00:04:19]

A real indian man called Sander-Vatheverander[00:04:26]

Blow the tin dinner horn over the valley[00:04:42]

Call all the formerly normal men to revolt and rally[00:04:47]

The Feudal Land Laws should be abolished[00:04:57]

What are you waiting for it's 1844[00:05:04]

The worm has begun to turn[00:05:24]

Three four five waaah[00:05:40]

Waaah[00:05:43]
