Sturgill Simpson - Go in Peace lyrics

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
