《As Long as the Grass Shall Grow(Live at Madison Square Garden， New York， NY - December 1969)》歌词

[00:00:00] As Long As The Grass - Johnny Cash

[00:00:31] As long as the moon shall rise as long as the rivers flow

[00:00:49] As long as the sun will shine as long as the grass shall grow

[00:01:08] The Senecas are an Indian tribe of the Iroquios nation

[00:01:13] Down on the New York Pennsylvania Line you'll find their reservation

[00:01:17] After the US revolution cornplanter was a chief

[00:01:21] He told the tribe these men they could trust that was his true belief

[00:01:26] He went down to Independence Hall and there was a treaty signed

[00:01:30] That promised peace with the USA and Indian rights combined

[00:01:35] George Washington gave his signature the Government gave its hand

[00:01:39] They said that now and forever more that this was Indian land

[00:01:44] As long as the moon shall rise

[00:01:53] As long as the rivers flow

[00:02:02] As long as the sun will shine as long as the grass shall grow

[00:02:20] On the Seneca reservation there is much sadness now

[00:02:24] Washington's treaty has been broken and there is no hope no how

[00:02:29] Across the Allegheny River they're throwing up a dam

[00:02:33] It will flood the Indian country a proud day for Uncle Sam

[00:02:38] It has broke the ancient treaty with a politician's grin

[00:02:42] It will drown the Indians graveyards cornplanter can you swim

[00:02:49] The earth is mother to the the Senecas they're trampling sacred ground

[00:02:53] Change the mint green earth to black mud flats as honor hobbles down

[00:02:57] As long as the moon shall rise

[00:03:06] As long as the rivers flow (are you thirsty)

[00:03:15] As long as the sun will shine

[00:03:24] As long as the grass shall grow
