To The Shining Mountains Lyrics - Johnny Cash

Yes, went they through the Lehigh Valley 

To Lake Erie past Virginia 

And the land called out its challenge 

Bring your men to match our mountains 

See the green Ohio Valley 

See the Cumberland, the Wabash 

On the Tennessee they floated 

On great rafts to the Mississippi 

And the Cherokee and Shawnee 

And the Creek and The Ojibwa 

And the Choctaw and the Quapaw 

And all the tribes along the rivers 

[Incomprehensible] that they were coming 

That the white man was upon them 

They built their homes along the rivers 

Built their churches, brought their preachers 

Came upon the white misery 

Stopped before the shining mountains
