Trail Of Tears

The Sun hangs low in the Western sky

I bow my head and remember now

Someone's lips pressed close to mine

Her cool hand upon my brow

Hell burns hot for a killer 's heart

A shallow grave in an unmarked plot

Crack of gunfire in the dark

Hand in hand we'll walk at daybreak

One wore black

One wore black

One wore black

The trail of tears is winding on

Many pass along the road

Dusty soldiers march along

As they file one by one

One wore black

One wore black

One wore black

Trail of tears is winding on

Frightened soldier run no more

Arm and arm with lovers gone

No one passes on the road

Two girls wait at the railroad track

For their soldiers to come back

Knowing this will be their last

One wore blue and one wore black

One wore black
