The Vanishing Race Lyrics

The song The Vanishing Race is performed by Johnny Cash in the album named Bitter Tears (Ballads of the American Indian) in the year 1994 .



Oh, wagon trains rollin' along
They fade from my visions and in time will be gone
I, I see an eagle in space
My people will follow oh oh, a vanishing race

An Indian brave rolled along one day
On a lonely mountain trail
And he gazed below with a heart of woe
Where the prairie schooners sail

A vision formed like a mortal storm
In the dust of the wagon train
A vanishing race appeared in space
And he sang his sad refrain

Oh, wagon trains rollin' along
They fade from my visions and in time will be gone
I, I see an eagle in space
And my people will follow a vanishing race

Oh, now great spirits on high
Please spare them the sorrow you show to my eye
Now my blankets are roll
And I ride to the valley of the brave Navajo
And I ride to the valley of the brave Navajo
A vanishing Navajo
