The West - Johnny Cash
[00:00.03]Then came West ...
[00:00.03]Then came West Virginia came Nevada and Nebraska
[00:04.20]Colorado and Dakota, Washington, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming
[00:10.53]And the West was opened up
[00:14.13]And for ther first time it seems
[00:16.20]That the nation was really conscious of itself as a nation
[00:20.52]Railroad tracks crossed the land as did telegraph wires
[00:25.11]Public opinion and great ideas were now reflected on a national basis
[00:32.13]And never in this land before us and never more hereafter
[00:36.48]Will a land know such a people as a man we call a cowboy
[00:40.56]His hat and his bandana his unique brand of lingo
[00:45.33]All his devil deeds of daring bold and skillful in the saddle
[00:50.01]Brave and daring in the rambling wild and eager in exploring
[00:52.50]Land that calls him with a challenge
[00:53.25]But the land was already claimed by a people
[00:54.18]When the cowboy came and when the soldiers came
[00:55.08]The story of the American Indian is in a lot of ways a story of tragedy
[00:56.73]Like that day at Wounded Knee South Dakota
