B
Yes, went they through the Lehigh Valley
To Lake Erie past Virginia
And the land called out its challenge
Bring your men to match our mountains
See the green Ohio Valley
See the Cumberland, the Wabash
On the Tennessee they floated
On great rafts to the Mississippi
              E
And the Cherokee and Shawnee
          B
And the Creek and The Ojibwa
And the Choctaw and the Quapaw
And all the tribes along the rivers
Incomprehensible that they were coming
           E
That the white man was upon them
B
They built their homes along the rivers
Built their churches, brought their preachers
Came upon the white misery
Stopped before the shining mountains

B
Many died from the beginning
For the freedom of America
Like that day down in New Orleans
