Calamity Jane Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I had to think about this one - and while there are some recent songs that tug at the heart strings (many GD tunes for sure), there's this one I learned and sang in grade five choir. I almost always broke up over it then, and still do today. I think it was my first glimpse into the utter greed and stupidity of human kind.(sorry if I've now caused it to get stuck in some heads for the day...) One Tin Soldier Listen Children to a story that was written long ago'Bout a kingdom on a mountain, and the valley folk belowOn the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone,And the vally people swore they'd have it for their very own.Go ahead and hate your neighbour,Go ahead and cheat a friend.Do it in the name of heaven.Justify it in the end.There won't be any trumpets blowin' Come the judgement day,One the bloody morning after...One tin soldier rides away.So the people of the vally sent a message up the hill,Asking for the buried treasure, tons of gold for which they'd kill.Came the answer from the kingdom, "with our brothers we will shareall the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there"Now the vally cried with anger, "Mount your houses, draw your sword,"and they killed the mountain people, so they won their just reward.Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain dark and red,Turned the stone and looked beneath it, "peace on earth" was all it said.Go ahead and hate your neighbour,Go ahead and cheat a friend.Do it the name of heaven.Justify it in the endThere won't be any trumpets blown'Come the judgement day,ON the bloody morning after....One tin soldier rides away.

bradm Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Booche, do you remember seeing Willie Nelson, moe., and The Dead at Vernon Downs in 2003? I can't remember all the stuff that Willie did, but when he did "I'll Fly Away" (and maybe "Will The Circle Be Unbroken"), I just about liquified.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
