INTRO:
Dm
F
The shame on a red man's face
Dm
So they lived in the hills and they never came down
A7
But to trade in the white man's place
Dm
It was early in the spring when the snow had disappeared
F
They came down with a bag of skins
Dm
In the fall of the year of 1910
A7 Dm
Daddy died by the rope down in Cherokee Bend
Gm
Daddy didn't like what the white man said
A7
'Bout the dirty little kid at his side
Gm
Daddy didn't like what the white man did
A7
Nor the deal or the way that he lied
Dm
There was blood on the floor of the government store
F
When the men took his daddy away
Dm
But the boy stayed back till he come to his end
A7 Dm
And he run like the wind from Cherokee Bend
Dm
Now the mother was alone and the winter was at hand
F
And she prayed to her spirit kin
Dm
It was warm in the lodge in the Kentucky hills
A7
On the day when the boy came in
