As Long as the Grass Shall Grow

from Giving My Bones to the Western Lands by Slackeye Slim

lyrics

As long as the grass shall grow
As long as the river runs cold
My heart will have no room for mercy for you
It’s blood I want
Nothing else will do

With freedom for all mankind
They came marching in with rifles drawn
And freedom rang as they fired the first shots
And they freely chained us up and marched us off

When you see their burning flag fall like a leaf from a tree
And the pounding of the drums overpowering their screams
When the sky is glowing red from a fire far away
It’ll be my spirit on the wind that blows to fan the flames

As long as the grass shall grow
As long as the river runs cold
My heart will have no room for mercy for you
It’s blood I want
Nothing else will do

As long as the grass shall grow
As long as the river runs cold
You will find me in the words of a song
That lay written down in a trail of bones
