I will not go down under the ground
"Cause somebody tells me that
death's comin' 'round
An' I will not carry myself down to die
When I go to my grave my
head will be high,
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the
ground.
There's been rumors of war and wars that have been
The meaning of the life
has been lost in the wind
And some people thinkin' that the end is close by
"Stead of
learnin' to live they are learning to die.
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down
under the ground.
I don't know if I'm smart but I think I can see
When someone is
pullin' the wool over me
And if this war comes and death's all around
Let me die on this
land 'fore I die underground.
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the
ground.
There's always been people that have to cause fear
They've been talking of
the war now for many long years
I have read all their statements and I've not said a
word
But now Lawd God, let my poor voice be heard.
Let me die in my footsteps
Before
I go down under the ground.
If I had rubies and riches and crowns
I'd buy the whole
world and change things around
I'd throw all the guns and the tanks in the sea
For they
are mistakes of a past history.
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the
ground.
Let me drink from the waters where the mountain streams flood
Let me smell
of wildflowers flow free through my blood
Let me sleep in your meadows with the green grassy
leaves
Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace.
Let me die in my
footsteps
Before I go down under the ground.
Go out in your country where the land
meets the sun
See the craters and the canyons where the waterfalls run
Nevada, New Mexico,
Arizona, Idaho
Let every state in this union seep in your souls.
And you'll die in your
footsteps
Before you go down under the ground | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
