《Calico Indians》歌词

[00:00:44] Oh how we used to hate the sight

[00:00:51] Of the evil rent collector coming in the night

[00:00:56] Got to tithe the 40 bushels but it don't seem right

[00:00:59] Up to the manor house to pay the Great Patroon

[00:01:05] We had taken a wilderness

[00:01:09] And turned the Earth to bounty by the rake's caress

[00:01:13] Never owning what we tilled below the crescent moon

[00:01:18] Up to the manor house to pay the Great Patroon

[00:01:26] The sheriff was about to sell their cows

[00:01:30] Or otherwise extort the rent

[00:01:35] So they met in barns and in out of the way places

[00:01:39] To scheme all night on how to gain their ends

[00:01:44] What do you wear for civil war in 1844

[00:01:49] In upstate New York

[00:01:51] What do you wear for civil war in 1844

[00:01:56] In upstate New York

[00:02:01] These Indians wore Calico dresses

[00:02:04] Belted at the waist

[00:02:19] Red flannel pantaloons

[00:02:21] Oh Those masks were awful looking things

[00:02:23] With fringe around the neck

[00:02:25] Horns upon the forehead

[00:02:26] Coarse animal hair glued on for a beard

[00:02:30] At this pow-wow among the grotesque

[00:02:38] The chief wore a striped calico long lady's dress

[00:02:43] Blow the tin dinner horn over the valley

[00:02:46] Call all the formerly normal men to revolt and rally

[00:02:53] The Feudal Land Laws should be abolished

[00:03:03] What are you waiting for it's 1844

[00:03:05] The worm has begun to turn

[00:03:06] I saw those Calicos scorn and spurn their accusers

[00:03:28] With threatening talk and rough tough threatening gestures

[00:03:39] The feeling waxed stronger and stronger

[00:03:42] Stronger and stronger

[00:03:57] They tried to talk like real Indians might

[00:04:02] Me want cider and the like

[00:04:05] Many a head had worn this crown of feathers

[00:04:14] Had tried to be the leader of the Anti-Rent Rioters

[00:04:19] I recognized it as having belonged to a left-handed neighbor

[00:04:26] A real indian man called Sander-Vatheverander

[00:04:42] Blow the tin dinner horn over the valley

[00:04:47] Call all the formerly normal men to revolt and rally

[00:04:57] The Feudal Land Laws should be abolished

[00:05:04] What are you waiting for it's 1844

[00:05:24] The worm has begun to turn

[00:05:40] Three four five waaah

[00:05:43] Waaah
