- Nanci Griffith I remember Joe 歌詞
- Nanci Griffith
- Oh your golden lights of America
Joseph sought your prairies and your buffalo
And the humming of the rails down through
Kansas they brought Joseph in from Baltimore
The Cavalry the Indians and an old dan were his only friends
Then the old dan died and the Indians plight
Made the Cavalry young Joes enemy
Oh the oultlaws spilled the blood across
The Kansas plains in the 70s
Joseph took a badge for America
To defend you from your fantasies
Joseph wore that badge across the Kansas prairies
To save the railroads
But the heroes that we made well they were
Ruthless soldiers wholl kill for gold
With a broken heart for the frontier plains
Joseph sat a-rocking in his front-porch swing
That old tin badge is tarnished now
You know it was just a young mans dream
And old mans tales are hard to reach
When you dont believe in your American Dream
The Indians the buffalo and old Joe Mason
They died from memory
Oh your golden lights of America
Joseph sought your prairies and your buffalo
And the humming of the rails down through
Kansas they brought Joseph in from Baltimore
The Cavalry the Indians and an old dan
Forsaken old man
Oh your golden lights of Americ
