[00:00:00] Three Chiefs - Marty Stuart

[00:00:00] Written by：Marty Stuart

[00:00:30] In a 4 by room at pine ridge on a cold December day

[00:00:38] A spirit come down from the heaven world to take red cloud away

[00:00:46] Mary and Jesus and the stars and stripes looked down on his bed

[00:00:54] Women brought snow in off the ground to cool his fevered head

[00:01:01] When the dust of his wars rolled in from the past

[00:01:05] Like storm clouds gathered from time

[00:01:09] He knew his day on earth had come to make his peace and die

[00:01:17] He raised his hand for mercy surrendered his last breath of life

[00:01:25] Then six white horses came into the room and took him to the sky

[00:01:34] Where he stood face to face with a mysterious form at the edge of eternity

[00:01:42] God said hello red cloud now say what you will to me

[00:01:51] Red cloud said

[00:01:53] I hope the great heavenly father who looks upon us

[00:01:56] Will give all the tribes his blessings

[00:02:00] That they may go forth in peace

[00:02:03] And live in peace all their days

[00:02:07] And that our heavenly father will look upon

[00:02:09] Our children as his children

[00:02:12] That all tribes may be his children

[00:02:15] And as we shake hands today on this broad plain

[00:02:20] May we forever live in peace

[00:02:23] Now my sun is set my day is done

[00:02:28] Just like the book says from the days of old

[00:02:33] No cross no crown

[00:02:36] At the end of the life at the setting sun

[00:02:40] We lay our burdens down

[00:02:44] We lay our burdens down

[00:02:54] When sitting bull laid down to sleep

[00:02:57] He didn't know when the morning come

[00:03:01] That red tomahawk and police force

[00:03:05] Armed with blazing guns

[00:03:09] Would storm into his cabin and drag him from his bed

[00:03:17] Throw him in the yard like a mangy dog

[00:03:20] Where he was shot and left for dead

[00:03:25] Murdered by Mclaughlin's men

[00:03:29] He never even had a chance

[00:03:32] All because he stayed true to the ghost in

[00:03:35] His heart and wouldn't give up the dance

[00:03:40] His horse started spinin' and twirling

[00:03:44] The world went round and round

[00:03:48] Everybody saw sitting bull's body

[00:03:52] But his soul was nowhere to be found

[00:03:57] He stood face to face with a mysterious form at the edge of eternity

[00:04:05] God said hello sitting bull now say what you will to me

[00:04:15] You made me an Indian and I thank you

[00:04:20] But father now I ask you

[00:04:23] What treaty have the Sioux made with the white man

[00:04:26] That we have broken

[00:04:28] Not one

[00:04:31] And what treaty has the white man ever

[00:04:33] Made with us that they have kept

[00:04:36] Not one

[00:04:40] Is it wrong for me to love my own and defend them

[00:04:44] Is it wicked for me because my skin red or because I am a Sioux

[00:04:49] I gladly died for my people and my country because I am an Indian

[00:05:01] Just like the book said from the days of old

[00:05:06] No cross no crown

[00:05:09] At the end of the life at the setting sun

[00:05:13] We lay our burdens down

[00:05:17] We lay our burdens down

[00:05:26] In a jailhouse in Nebraska

[00:05:30] It was on September 5

[00:05:34] Crazy horse was fighting hard to keep himself alive

[00:05:42] He screamed just like a panther

[00:05:46] At the sight of a guardhouse door

[00:05:50] Stabbed in the back by a soldier's dagger

[00:05:53] Crazy horse fell down on the floor

[00:05:58] He was the last warrior standing

[00:06:01] Defending the old way of life

[00:06:05] Where mountains sing and ponies run

[00:06:09] Like smoke from the sacred pipe

[00:06:13] Touch the clouds took his body

[00:06:16] Back home to his family

[00:06:21] Nobody knows where they laid him down

[00:06:25] To set his spirit free

[00:06:30] He stood face to face with a mysterious form at the edge of eternity

[00:06:38] God said

[00:06:39] Hello crazy horse now say what you will to me

[00:06:49] Upon suffering beyond suffering the red nation shall rise again

[00:06:56] And it shall be a blessing for a sick world

[00:07:01] A world filled with broken promises

[00:07:03] Selfishness and separations

[00:07:07] A world longing for light again

[00:07:11] I see a time of seven generations when all of the colors of mankind

[00:07:16] Will gather under the sacred tree of life

[00:07:19] And the whole earth will become one circle again

[00:07:23] And that day there will be those among the Lakota

[00:07:28] Who will carry knowledge

[00:07:29] And understanding of unity among all living things

[00:07:34] And the young white ones will come to those

[00:07:36] Of my people and ask for this wisdom

[00:07:41] I salute the light within your eyes

[00:07:44] For the whole universe dwells

[00:07:47] For when you are at that center within you

[00:07:50] And I am at that place within me

[00:07:53] We shall be one

[00:07:58] Three men three warriors

[00:08:02] Good and noble chiefs

[00:08:06] Prophets to their people

[00:08:09] May they rest a while in peace

[00:08:13] Their words echo like thunder through the canyons at time

[00:08:21] And shine like a flaming arrow in a world in a world

[00:08:31] The truth is hard to find

[00:08:37] No cross no crown

[00:08:41] No cross no crown

[00:08:44] No cross no crown
