Go in Peace - Sturgill Simpson

When he woke up

He saw the faces of the mighty Cherokee

They’d found Shamrock and him

Passed out together

Underneath the forest canopy

Saw his Tomahawk and skins

And knew that he was a Shawnee

So to see the Chief he now must go

One and all they did agree

The old man stared into his soul

Though he was blind

As he could be

Said if you’re looking for your woman

It is here that you shall find she

Said a man McClure had traded her for horses

On which he used so he could flee

Dood said she wasn’t his to trade

He stole her away and he shot me

Then the old man whispered softly

Her you now must go and see

When she saw him

She cried tears of joy

And he saw his soul

In eyes blue as sea

Chief didn’t need no eyes to know he was hers

And she belonged to he

He said «I'm sorry for your troubles»

«She must go back home with thee»

Said get your mule

And waved his palm

Said you both now may go in peace

So Dood climbed back up

On ol Shamrock

He and Juanita went home happily
