lyrics

Cry Of The Thunderbird
Allan Harris

Wind is blowing across my brown face
We must travel from this killing place
Soon they'll follow Soldiers White and Black
Come to take us but we won't go back

Took our weapons now we can't hunt game
Shot our ponies trail of tears we make
Still they follow snow with bloody tracks
Try to take us but we won't go back

Wind is blowing across my brown face
We are going to that Kansas place
Oh we travel follow wagon tracks
Yes were weary but we wont go back

Tried to stop us guns along the bank
Steamboats waiting for the rivers deep
Now we travel through missouri's breaks
Raiders follow bring that Dixie hate
