The Dreadnoughts - Battleford 1885 lyrics
[The Dreadnoughts - Battleford 1885 lyrics]
Say the name, Walking the sky
And we'll never know the reason why
Eight men on a Battleford wall
Sing to the sun as the trap doors fall
Free, just like a red winged blackbird
Free, just like a red winged blackbird
Wandering spirit took his shot
Tom Quinn deserved all the lead he got
Little Bear and Miserable Man
Standing guard over sacred land
Free, just like a red winged blackbird
Free, just like a red winged blackbird
Eight dead by the red sunset
But they won't back down
And thеy won't forget
To the shame of powеrful men
Ol’ Whiskey Jack's gonna rise again
Free, just like a red winged blackbird
Free, just like a red winged blackbird
And we'll never know the reason why
Eight men on a Battleford wall
Sing to the sun as the trap doors fall
Free, just like a red winged blackbird
Free, just like a red winged blackbird
Wandering spirit took his shot
Tom Quinn deserved all the lead he got
Little Bear and Miserable Man
Standing guard over sacred land
Free, just like a red winged blackbird
Free, just like a red winged blackbird
Eight dead by the red sunset
But they won't back down
And thеy won't forget
To the shame of powеrful men
Ol’ Whiskey Jack's gonna rise again
Free, just like a red winged blackbird
Free, just like a red winged blackbird
