Old
Chief Joseph gazed with a tearful eye
Stood on a mountaintop watching his people die
Laid down his rags and his weapons of war
And cried; From this day forever I will fight no more
Whoa brother, don't let that sun go down
Whoa brother, don't let that sun go down
Queen of England, lying at deaths dark door
Threw down her crown, she said I won't need this anymore
With a terminal breath, she raised up a cry
She said; All my possessions for one moment of time
Whoa mother, don't let that sun go down
Whoa mother, don't let that sun go down
What you gonna do man of flesh and bone
What you gonna say when it's your turn to go home
Walk down a road, feel that cold wind blow
You know in the end there's one walk you're gonna walk alone
Christ at Calvary, nailed to his wooden tower
Writhing in agony, facing the the final hour
The sky turned as red as the color of blood
He cried out; Father forgive them for they know not what
Whoa Father, don't let that sun go down
Whoa Father, don't let that sun go down
What you gonna do man of flesh and bone
What you gonna say when it's your turn to go home
Walk down a road, hear that cold wind moan, moan, moan
You know in the end there's one walk you're gonna walk alone
You know in the end there's one walk you're gonna walk alone
