America The Beautiful Lyrics - Running For The Drum - Buffy Sainte-marie

There were Choctaws in Alabama 

Chippewas in St. Paul 

Mississippi mud runs like a river in me 

America - Oo she's like a mother to me 

O beautiful for spacious skies 

For amber waves of grain 

For purple mountain majesty 

Above the fruited plain 

America, America 

God shed his grace on thee 

And crown thy good with brotherhood 

from sea to shining sea 

from sea to shining sea

There were cliff towns in Colorado 

Pyramids in Illinois 

Trade routes up and down the Mississippi River to see 

America - Oo she's like a mother to me... 

O beautiful for vision clear 

that sees beyond the years 

Thy night time sky 

Our hopes that fly 

undimmed by human tears

America, America 

God shed His grace on thee 

Til selfish gain no longer stain 

the banner of the free 

And crown thy good with brotherhood 

from sea to shining sea 

from sea to shining sea
