Trail Of Tears Lyrics - It's About Pride - Outlaws

Trail Of Tears 

(The Outlaws) 

Amadahy was her name, she was Cherokee 

With the land she loved they lived in perfect harmony 

Her people thrived all through the Appalachians 

'til the white eye learned of all the gold buried within 

Trail Of Tears 

Death soldiers marched on them in 1838 

She watched them burn their homes with a fire of hate 

Betrayed by treaties and the Army's grand old man 

Seven thousand troops led them to hell and back again

(Trail of Tears) I'm on the trail of tears (Trail of Tears) 

Lord I'm going down, (Trail of Tears), I'm on the trail of tears 

(Trail of Tears) turn the whole world upside down 

Legend says where every mother's tear fell, grows a Cherokee Rose 

I hope Old Hickory is burning down in hell 

With all the demons that drove him down that road 

Down the trail of tears 

The last of them arrived in the spring of '39 

Shattered her peoples hope, one heartbeat at a time 

Crockett and Worcester, they fought for them in vain 

They will always be remembered, 

In our hearts they will remain

(Trail of Tears) turn the whole world upside down
