Joan Baez One Tin Soldier Lyrics
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley far below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of heaven
You'll be justified in the end
There won't be any trumpets blowin'
Come the judgement day
The b_____ mornin' after
One Tin Soldier Rides Away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message UP THE HILL
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
"With our Brother we will share
All the secrets of our mountain:
All the riches buried there"
Now the valley cried with anger
"Mount your horses! Draw your sword!"
And they killed the mountain people
So they'd won their "just reward"
Now they stood beside the treasure
On the mountain dark and Red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"PEACE ON EARTH"
Was all it said..........
Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of 'heaven'
You'll be justified in the end
There won't be any trumpets blowin'
Come the judgement day
On the b_____ mornin' after
One Tin Soldier Rides Away........
