"Levee On Down" lyrics - SON VOLT

SON VOLT
"Levee On Down"
(Jay Farrar)

Follow the levee on down to the Shawneetown Road
Hell in the brush there, sure as garbage feeds the swine
Follow the levee on down to Modoc Road
There's hell in the brush there, sure as garbage feeds the swine

That dead president sent women and children to die
Just white man's greed for land with no regard for Cherokee lives
That dead president sent women and children to die
Just white man's greed for land with no regard for Cherokee lives

Take the levee on down to Moccasin Springs Road
Where the devil let them die on cold ground
Remember the Trail of Tears, remember the lives lost
When you lay that twenty-dollar bill down

That dead president sent women and children to die
Just white man's greed for land with no regard for Cherokee lives
That dead president sent women and children to die
Just white man's greed for land with no regard for Cherokee lives
