Linda McCartney - Appaloosa lyrics

<b>Appaloosa</b> by <i>Linda McCartney</i><br />

Chief Joseph and his tribe bred beautiful horses

On the banks of the Paloose River

The breed became known as the Appaloosa

Appaloosa stallion run so fast

Gallop through the canyon through the past

Lead your tribe to safety show the way

Cavalry gets closer every day

Once you ran through peaceful fields of grass

Once you drank from rivers clear and fast

Life for you was easy, full of love

Sleep beneath the yellow moon above

Then the foreign soldiers came from far across the sea

Stealing all the tribal land that once had been so free

Starving people that you love are crawling through the snow

Will they get across the border, heaven only knows

Appaloosa stallion run so fast

Gallop through the canyon through the past

Lead your tribe to safety show the way

Cavalry gets closer every day

Appaloosa stallion run so fast

Gallop through the canyon through the past

Lead your tribe to safety show the way

But the foreign soldiers came to stay

Then the foreign soldiers came from far across the sea

Stealing all the tribal land that once had been so free

Starving people that you love are crawling through the snow

Will they get across the border, heaven only knows

Appaloosa stallion run so fast

Gallop through the canyon through the past

Lead your tribe to safety show the way

But the foreign soldiers came to stay
