 A Vanishing race (Johnny Cash)
Uit het album : Bitter Tears
The wagon trains rollin along
They fade from my visions and in time will be gone
I see an Eagle in space
My people will follow a vanishing race
An Indian brave rolled along one day
On a lonely mountain trail
And he gazed below
With a heart of woe where the prairie shooners sail
A vision formed
Like a mortal storm in the dust of the wagon train
A vanishing race appeared in space
And he sang his sad refrain
Io Iou Ii
Oh now great spirits on high
Please spare them the sorrow
You showed to my Eyes
Now my blankets are roll and I ride to the valley of the
brave Navajo
