The Dreadnoughts


Say the name, Walking the sky
And we'll never know the reason why
Eight men on a Battleford wall
Sing to the sun as the trap doors fall

Free, just like a red winged blackbird
Free, just like a red winged blackbird

Wandering spirit took his shot
Tom Quinn deserved all the lead he got
Little Bear and Miserable Man
Standing guard over sacred land

Free, just like a red winged blackbird
Free, just like a red winged blackbird

Eight dead by the red sunset
But they won't back down
And thеy won't forget
To the shame of powеrful men
Ol’ Whiskey Jack's gonna rise again

Free, just like a red winged blackbird
Free, just like a red winged blackbird
