《Indian Names》歌词

[00:00:00] Indian Names - Natalie Merchant

[00:01:11] You say they all have passed away

[00:01:14] That noble race and brave

[00:01:25] That their light canoes have vanished

[00:01:29] Off the crested wave

[00:01:35] That 'mid the forests where they roamed

[00:01:39] There rings no hunter's shout;

[00:01:44] But their name is on your waters

[00:01:47] You may not wash it out

[00:01:56] 'Tis where Ontario's billow

[00:02:00] Like Ocean's surge is curled;

[00:02:09] Where strong Niagara's thunders wake

[00:02:13] The echo of the world;

[00:02:19] Where red Missouri bringeth

[00:02:22] Rich tributes from the west

[00:02:26] And Rappahannock sweetly sleeps

[00:02:30] On green Virginia's breast

[00:02:39] You say their cone-like cabins

[00:02:42] That clustered o'er the vale

[00:02:50] Have fled away like withered leaves

[00:02:53] Before the autumn gale:

[00:03:00] But their memory lives on in your hills

[00:03:03] Their baptism on your shore;

[00:03:12] Your everlasting rivers speak

[00:03:14] Their dialect of yore

[00:03:24] Old Massachusetts wears it

[00:03:27] Within her lordly crown

[00:03:29] And broad Ohio bears it

[00:03:34] 'Mid all her young renown;

[00:03:40] Connecticut hath wreathed it

[00:03:43] Where her quiet foliage waves

[00:03:46] And bold Kentucky breathed it hoarse

[00:03:50] Through all her ancient caves

[00:03:58] Wachuset hides it's lingering voice

[00:04:02] Within his rocky heart

[00:04:04] And Alleghany graves it's tone

[00:04:08] Throughout his lofty chart;

[00:04:14] Monadnock on his forehead hoar

[00:04:17] Doth seal the sacred trust;

[00:04:28] Your mountains build their monument

[00:04:32] Though you destroy their dust
