Trail Of Tears

R: In the Great Smoky Mountain of North Carolina
   That’s where I have rambled for many long years
   In the Great Smoky Mountain of North Carolina
   I follow the trail of tears …

I‘ve been thinking of days gone by
I‘ve been raising my spirits high
I‘ve been waking after you
Memories of our mountain home
now I wonder all alone
I‘ve been blinking back the tears

R: In the Great Smoky Mountain of North Carolina...

Yellow tower of candle burnin’
Brightly in the window, calling me back
Through the pain, hoof feet sound like thunder
Battle crys steal the wonder lighting
Illuminates the rain

R: In the Great Smoky Mountain of North Carolina...

Dusty bear feet standin’ on a road
That leads to nowhere from our empty cabin door
Red Cloud said he saw you on that path
To Oklahoma no one remembers anymore
