seán brady (irl) - the irish and the choctaw tale كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
long ago in mississippi
were the ancient choctaw tribe
who lived and loved upon that land
long before jackson’s time
until the strangers came and told them
you must leave the end is nigh
then they drove them out like cattle
‘neath that sacred choctaw sky

[verse 2]
as they struggled through the wilderness
they battled for their lives
from disease, the cold and hunger
multitudes would not survive
on that trail of tears and sorrow
for the exiles who remained
they’d come to find a new home
on the oklahoma plains

[verse 3]
’twas the black year forty_seven
when the irish hunger came
john bull’s final solution
to his deep eternal shame
men, women, children dying
in their thousands by the day
as cruel and heartless landlords
without mercy looked away
[verse 4]
they said it was god’s lesson
we must suffer for our sins
spoke the evil voice of tyranny
cruel lord trevelyan
through callous inhumanity
a million people died
as panic stricken thousands
fled across the ocean wide

[verse 5]
in the far off choctaw nation
as the dreadful news came by
of death and hunger far away
beneath an irish sky
with hands across the ocean
they gave that we’d survive
god bless you for your kindness
may god keep you choctaw tribe

[verse 6]
in the year of twenty_twenty
when the silent k!ller came
we heard about the navajo
the hopi and their pain
our irish hearts united
we could not stand idly by
and we gave to them as you gave to us
in famine days gone by
[verse 7]
in this world of great injustice
where the tyrants rise and fall
the irish and the choctaw
have shown love can conquer all
for no distance shall divide us
neither time nor rolling seas
the irish and the choctaw tale
is carved in history
