Versuri As Long As The Grass Shall Grow
As long as the moon shall rise as long as the
rivers flow
As long as the sun will shine as long as the
grass shall grow
The Senecas are an Indian tribe of the Iroquios
nation
Down on the New York Pennsylvania Line you'll
find their reservation
After the US revolution cornplanter was a chief
He told the tribe these men they could trust that
was his true belief
He went down to Independence Hall and there was a
treaty signed
That promised peace with the USA and Indian
rights combined
George Washington gave his signature the
Government gave its hand
They said that now and forever more that this was
Indian land
As long as the moon shall rise...
On the Seneca reservation there is much sadness
now
Washington's treaty has been broken and there is
no hope no how
Across the Allegheny River they're throwing up a
dam
It will flood the Indian country a proud day for
Uncle Sam
It has broke the ancient treaty with a
politician's grin
It will drown the Indians graveyards cornplanter
can you swim
The earth is mother to the the Senecas they're
trampling sacred ground
Change the mint green earth to black mud flats as
honor hobbles down
As long as the moon shall rise...
The Iroquios Indians used to rule from Canada way
south
But no one fears the Indians now and smiles the
liar's mouth
The Senecas hired an expert to figure another
site
But the great good army engineers said that he
had no right
Although he showed them another plan and showed
them another way
They laughed in his face and said no deal Kinuza
dam is here to stay
Congress turned the Indians down brushed off the
Indians plea
So the Senecas have renamed the dam they call it
Lake Perfidy
As long as the moon shall rise...
Washington Adams and Kennedy now hear their
pledges ring
The treaties are safe we'll keep our word but
what is that gurgling
It's the back water from Perfidy Lake it's rising
all the time
Over the homes and over the fields and over the
promises fine
No boats will sail on Lake Perfidy in winter it
will fill
In summer it will be a swamp and all the fish
will kill
But the Government of the USA has corrected
George's vow
The father of our country must be wrong what's an
Indian anyhow
As long as the moon shall rise (look up) as long
as the rivers flow (are you thirsty)
As long as the sun will shine (my brother are you
warm) as long as the grass shall grow
