Down To The Valley Lyrics

Herman Frank Down To The Valley

"Please tell me, Mule Skinner, why do you care
Wich way I go on this bright summer's day?
Ride east did you say? Why should I go there?"
"Cause I have made my decision. We'll ride west!"

I've send them down, down to the valley
I've send them down, down to the ground
I've seen those shining eyes, they're ready to fight
Heaven and earth will shake up tonight
I've seen how they died
Thousands of Indians won't turn and we will pay the price

"Don't you think that we should better stay?
And send some scouts to search a safer way?"
"Why do we have to go", asks the captain again
Onward to glory, 'cause victory is certain

I sent them down, down to the valley
I sent them down, down to the ground
I've seen those shining eyes, they're ready to fight
Heaven and earth will shake up tonight
I've seen how they died
Thousands of Indians won't turn and we will pay the price

Pay the price, pay the price
