Текст песни As Long As the Grass Shall Grow (Live) - Johnny Cash

As long (aslong) as the moon (as the moon) shall rise (as the moon shall rise)
As long (a slong) as the rivers (as the rivers) flow (as the rivers flow)
As long as the sun will shi-i-i-i-ine
As long as the grass shall grow

The Senecas are an Indian tribe of the Iroquios nation
Down on the New York Pennsylvania Line you'll find their reservation
After the US revolution cornplanter was a chief
He told the tribe these men they could trust that was his true belief
He went down to Independence Hall and there was a treaty signed
That promised peace with the USA and Indian rights combined
George Washington gave his signature the Government gave its hand
They said that now and forever more that this was Indian land

As long (as long) as the moon (as the moon) shall rise (as the moon shall rise)
As long (as long) as the rivers (as the rivers) flow (as the rivers flow)
As long as the sun will shi-i-i-i-ine
As long as the grass shall grow

On the Seneca reservation there is much sadness now
Washington's treaty has been broken and there is no hope no how
Across the Allegheny River they're throwing up a dam
It will flood the Indian country a proud day for Uncle Sam
It has broke the ancient treaty with a politician's grin
It will drown the Indians graveyards cornplanter can you swim
The earth is mother to the the Senecas they're trampling sacred ground
Change the mint green earth to black mud flats as honor hobbles down

As long (as long) as the moon (as the moon) shall rise (as the moon shall rise)
As long (as long) as the rivers (as the rivers) flow (as the rivers flow)
As long as the sun will shi-i-i-i-ine
As long as the grass shall gro-o-o-o-ow
