Amadayee was her name - she was Cherokee

With the land she loved - they lived in perfect harmony

Her people thrived all through the Appalachians

'Till the wide eye learned of all the gold buried within...



TRAIL OF TEARS



Their soldiers marched on there in 1838

She watched them burn their homes - with a firey hate

Betrayed by treaties and the Army's grand ol' man

7,000 troops led them through hell and back again



TRAIL OF TEARS

(I'm on the Trail of Tears)

TRAIL OF TEARS

(Lord I'm going down)

TRAIL OF TEARS

(I'm on the Trail of Tears)

TRAIL OF TEARS

(Turn the whole world upside down)



Legend says for every mothers tear fell

Grows a Cherokee rose

I hope ol' Hickory is burning down in Hell

With all the demons and [?]



Down the Trail of Tears



The last of them arrived in the Spring of '39

Shattered all her people's hopes - one heartbeat at a time

[?]

They will always be remembered - in our hearts they will remain



TRAIL OF TEARS

(I'm on the Trail of Tears)

TRAIL OF TEARS

(Lord I'm going down)

TRAIL OF TEARS

(I'm on the Trail of Tears)

TRAIL OF TEARS

(Turn the whole world upside down)
