Lyrics

"Please tell me, Mule Skinner, why do you care Which way I go on this bright summer's day? Ride east did you say? Why should I go there?" "Cause I have my decision We'II 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 into 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
