lyrics

That man he left the other day and where he went he wouldn't say
He left in haste, out of the house he flew
He took off with some other men, they're comin' back God knows when
But I guess that's just how men are wont to do

Those men came home the next day by three, with one man less but more injuries
With bison skins in tow and fresh meat, too
Boastin' they'd robbed the Cheyenne Nation, with no concern of retaliation
But I guess that's just how men are wont to do

That man he screamed like ne'er before as three Injuns burst through our door
They demanded cup of mead and a plate of stew
That man he hardly put up a fight, as the Injuns carried me off into the night
But I guess that's just how men are wont to do

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
Bless this horse I ride upon
Hands and ankles bound
Swiftly ridin' o'er hard ground
And if you let my body fall
Lord let me hear your angels call

The Lord is the branch and I the leaf
Pray God let my death be brief
Let the stories be untrue
The savages will torture you
And if the rumors prove their worth
Pray God take my soul swift from this earth

Go west young woman
Mama's voice inside your head
Go west young woman
Kidnapped, left for dead
Go west young woman
No one to hear you cry
Go west young woman
Go west and you will die

Peter, James, John and Jude
Oh let the tales me misconstrued
Rape and scalp and burn you, too
Oh let the stories be untrue
None alive the headlines read
But who is witness if all are dead?
None alive the headlines read
But who is witness if all are dead?
