Johnny Cash - As long as the grass shall grow

As l^Aong, As the m^Eoon shall r^Aise, As l^Aong, As the ri^Evers, F^Alow As lo^Dng, As the s^Dun will sh^Aine, As lo^Dng, As the gr^Dass shall g^Arow

The Sen^Aecas are an Indian tribe of the Iro^Dquios Nation D^Eown on the New York Pennsylvania Line, You'll f^Aind their reservation After the ^AUS Revolution, Corn Pla^Dnter was the chief He to^Eld the tribe, These men they could tr^Aust, That was his true belief ^AHe went down to Independance Hall, And th^Dere was a treaty signed That pro^Emised peace with the USA, And In^Adian rights combined George Wash^Aington gave his signature, The gove^Drnment gave its hand They s^Eaid that now and forever more, That t^Ahis was Indian land

As l^Aong, As the m^Eoon shall r^Aise, As l^Aong, As the ri^Evers, F^Alow As lo^Dng, As the s^Dun will sh^Aine, As l^Dong, As the gr^Dass shall g^Arow

On the Se^Aneca reservation, Th^Dere is much sadness now Washingtons Tr^Eeaty has been broken, And th^Aere is no hope now Across the Alle^Agheny River, They're thro^Dwing up a dam It will fl^Eood the Indian country, A proud d^Aay for Uncle Sam It has b^Aroke the ancient treaty, With a poli^Dticians grin It will dr^Eown the Indians graveyards, Corn Pl^Aanter can you swim The earth is Mo^Ather to the Senecas, They're tra^Dmpling sacred ground Change the m^Eint green earth, To black mud flats, As ho^Anour hobbles down

As l^Aong, As the m^Eoon shall r^Aise, As l^Aong, As the ri^Evers, F^Alow As lo^Dng, As the s^Dun will sh^Aine, As l^Dong, As the gr^Dass shall g^Arow

The Iro^Aquois Indians used to rule, From Can^Dada way south But ^Eno-one fears the Indians now, And sm^Ailes the liars mouth The Se^Anecas hired an expert, To fi^Dgure another site But the gr^Eeat good army engineers, Said t^Ahat he had no right Although he sh^Aowed them another plan, And sh^Dowed them another way They lau^Eghed in his face, And said no deal, Kinuza D^Aam is here to stay Con^Agress turned the Indians down, Brushed o^Dff the Indians plea So the Sen^Eecas have renamed the dam, They c^Aall it Lake Perfidy

As l^Aong, As the m^Eoon shall r^Aise, As l^Aong, As the ri^Evers, F^Alow As lo^Dng, As the s^Dun will sh^Aine, As l^Dong, As the gr^Dass shall g^Arow

Wash^Aington, Adams and Kennedy, Now h^Dear their pledges ring The tre^Eaties are safe, We'll keep our word, But w^Ahat is that gurgling It's a b^Aack water from Perfidy Lake, It's ri^Dsing all the time O^Ever the homes, And over the fields, And o^Aver the promises fine No b^Aoats will sail on Lake Perfidy, In Wi^Dnter it will fill In Su^Emmer it will be a swamp, And ^Aall the fish will kill But the Gov^Aernment of the USA, Has cor^Drected Georges vow The fa^Ether of our country must be wrong, What's an In^Adian anyhow

As l^Aong, As the m^Eoon shall r^Aise, As l^Aong, As the ri^Evers, F^Alow (Look up) (Are you thirsty) As l^Dong, As the s^Dun will sh^Aine, As l^Dong, As the gr^Dass shall g^Arow (My brother are you warm)
