"The Levee On Down" lyrics
"The Levee On Down"
Follow the levee on down
To the Shawneetown Road
Hell in the brush there
Sure as garbage feeds the swine
Follow the levee on down
To Modoc Road
There's hell in the brush there
As sure as garbage feeds the swine
That dead president sent women and children to die
Just white man's greed for land with no regard for Cherokee lives
That dead president sent women and children to die
Just the white man's greed, with no regard for Cherokee lives
Take the levee on down
To Moccasin Springs Road
Where the devil let them die
On cold ground
Remember the Trail of Tears
Remember the lives lost
When you lay
That twenty-dollar bill down
That dead president sent women and children to die
Just white man's greed for land with no regard for Cherokee lives
That dead president sent women and children to die
Just the white man's greed, with no regard for Cherokee lives
