《It Is A Good Day To Die》歌词

[00:00:00] It Is A Good Day To Die - Robbie Robertson

[00:00:22] The general rode for sixteen days

[00:00:27] The horses were thirsty and tired

[00:00:31] On the trail of a renegade chief

[00:00:36] One he'd come to admire

[00:00:41] The soldiers hid behind the hills

[00:00:46] That surrounded the village

[00:00:50] And he rode down to warn the chief

[00:00:55] They'd come to conquer and pillage

[00:01:00] Lay down your arms

[00:01:05] Lay down your spear

[00:01:09] The chief's eyes were sad

[00:01:13] But showed no sign of fear

[00:01:22] It is a good day to die

[00:01:28] Oh my children dry your eyes

[00:01:33] It is a good day to die

[00:01:38] He spoke of the days before the white man came

[00:01:42] With his guns and whisky

[00:01:47] He told of a time a long ago

[00:01:51] Before what you call history

[00:01:56] The general couldn't believe his words

[00:02:01] Nor the look on his face

[00:02:06] But he knew these people would rather die

[00:02:10] Then have to live in this disgrace

[00:02:15] What law have I broken

[00:02:20] What wrong have I done

[00:02:24] That makes you want up bury me

[00:02:29] Upon this trail of blood

[00:02:36] It is a good day to die

[00:02:43] Oh my children dry your eyes

[00:02:48] It is a good day to die

[00:03:11] We cared for the land and the land cared for us

[00:03:16] And that's the way it's always been

[00:03:21] Never asked for more never asked too much

[00:03:26] And now you tell me this is the end

[00:03:30] I laid down my weapon

[00:03:35] Laid down my bow

[00:03:39] Now you want to drive me out

[00:03:44] With no place left to go

[00:03:51] It is a good day to die

[00:03:58] Oh my children dry your eyes

[00:04:03] It is a good day to die

[00:04:08] And he turned to his people and said dry your eyes

[00:04:14] We've been blessed and we are thankful

[00:04:18] Raise your voices to the sky

[00:04:22] It is a good day to die

[00:04:26] Oh my children dry your eyes

[00:04:36] Raise your voices to the sky

[00:04:40] It is a good day to die
