Lyrics:
Tecumseh on the Battlefield
Written by Mike Oberst
Where will you rest Tecumseh and where will be your home
The pioneer and army clear the land you
It is said, at the Battle of Tippecanoe, in a place called Prophetstown
That William Harrison burned Tecumseh's village to the ground
Thus, a curse
The jobs were few
All through Tecumseh valley
But she asked around
And a job she found
Tending bar at Gypsy Sally's
She saved enough to get back home
TECUMSEH VALLEY
(Townes Van Zandt)
The name she gave was Caroline daughter of a miner
Her ways were free it seemed to me
That sunshine walked beside
Lord
The jobs were few
All through Tecumseh valley
But she asked around
And a job she found
Tending bar at Gypsy Sally's
She saved enough to get
and the jobs were few
All through Tecumseh Valley
But she asked around and a job she found
Tending bar at Gypsy Sally's
She saved enough to get back home
like it's time to go home
Yeah, feeling like it's time to go home
And in this dream, Bill Tecumseh Sherman
Glowered at the foot of my bed
He was
In the last days of Tecumseh there in the end
There were rumors of invasion even talk of spacemen
But he couldn't believe all that he knew would
my voice in this song
Organize Tecumseh's babies
Potawatomis from prairies
We sun dancing backwards to infinity
Blueberry thunder from the lightning
you thought he was off to find a way
To end this war
A thousand things
Up from my heart
Fly across my mind
Like shooting stars
Tecumseh's bark
were few
all through tecumseh valley
but she asked around and a job she found
tending bar for gypsy sally
she saved enough to get back home
when spring
In the mailbox what I find?
PEPCO hello and no reply
From Tecumseh, Michigan
Urgent letter to a friend
January 30th, at no cost
Survive the fire
chief of men
The first to join Tecumseh and the last to fight in his region when
Keokuk sat down and gave right in, Hiram made a point to relay this
si je suis (répété souvent) à windsor mhmm de tecumseh j'ai vécu dans le petit village de woodslee de rivière-aux-canards proche de détroit
for justice
Stand up for life
Like Frederick Douglass
Standing like a fortress
Red Cloud, Tecumseh
Standing like a guiding light
From there a seed can
To comply with northern etiquette,
I'll curse the damn confederates
And be William Tecumseh Sherman's one envy
Because I think I need some fuckin medication
the background
We ain't hard to track down
This is for the fighters
I feel like Tecumseh v Harrison
Riddled with bullets
Still beautifully smashing
Original
noticed on the wall a painting of Tecumseh
And asked him about his future as we broke bread
And he said, everything has a spirit
I respect all life you hear
Planting still, Tecumseh seeds
Next week the ocean runs from me
It's balderdash; it's true
The sea floor loves so few
"Marxist dreck!" says the king
natives wanna put me out
Maybe they heard about my Tecumseh clout
You gotta be careful of what you sharing bout
These enemies will listen then they'll run
U.S. president
Only 31 days, he served, but gave his life to government
He negotiated treaties with tribes to extend American land
Chief Tecumseh
the Tecumseh go down
When that ironclad and all those sailors drowned
Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead
Then the Union ships overwhelmed our men
He'd talk
head
The curse of Tecumseh
The curse of King Tut
Little darling, here comes the flood
Come back to life
You been going under
Submarine
pretend
Oh, now you think you need a man
You weren't single last week, now you win
New flow, who the hell are you though
I'm balling now, on to Tecumseh
