It wasn't so very long ago
It's only about a hundred years or so
But it's so hard to remember
Easy to forget
If there's any regrets
If there's any pain
What have we done?
Will it happen again?
Is it true what they say?
That only the names remain?
Only the names remain
The pines in the mountains stood proud and tall
People down the valley thought they had it all
It's so hard to remember Easy to forget
But when fox came and claimed the land They lost it all,
it got out of their hands
They are gone today Only the names remain
Only the names remain
They are rolling down the Mississippi River
With all the girls from Tennessee
And the trains are rolling down the Chattanooga
If the Kennesaw Mountains trees could speak
What would they talk about to you and me?
Do you really believe they would call it the land of the free?
Apache
Arapaho
Azapasca
Cherokee
Chagat

We are rolling down the Mississippi River
With all the girls from Tennessee
And the trains are rolling down the Chattanooga
If the Kennesaw Mountains trees could speak
What would they talk about to you and me?
Do you really believe they would call it the land of the free?
It wasn't so very long ago
It's only about a hundred years or so
But it's so hard to remember Easy to forget
Any regrets,
if there's any pain
What have we done?
Will it happen again?
Is it true what they say?
That only the names remain Only the
names remain
