Old Minnesota - Song of the North Star

Price: $16.00

Oh say can you see by the leaving evening light
How so proudly the Indian rides into his coming night
And the ploughman looking back his gun against the tree
They call it Manifest Destiny

How a nation lost its country
Beside their home river at the ancient crossing place
The Dakotah put quill to the treaty statehood will soon seal their fate
Beside the home river at Mankato they hung thirty-eight

Oh say can you see how a nation lost its country
Oh say can you see by the leaving evening light
How so proudly the Indian rides into his coming night
And the ploughman looking back his gun against the tree
Oh say can you see
How a nation lost its country
