Battleford 1885 Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Say the name, Walking the sky
And we'll never know the reason why
Eight men on a Battleford wall
Sing to the sun as the trap doors fall
[Chorus]
Free, just like a red winged blackbird
Free, just like a red winged blackbird
[Verse 2]
Wandering spirit took his shot
Tom Quinn deserved all the lead he got
Little Bear and Miserable Man
Standing guard over sacred land
[Chorus]
Free, just like a red winged blackbird
Free, just like a red winged blackbird
[Bridge]
Eight dead by the red sunset
But they won't back down
And thеy won't forget
To the shame of powеrful men
Ol’ Whiskey Jack's gonna rise again
[Chorus]
Free, just like a red winged blackbird
Free, just like a red winged blackbird
