MOUNTAIN MEADOWS MASSACREMOUNTAIN MEADOWS MASSACRE
Come all you sons of liberty, unto my rhyme give ear
'Tis of the bloody massacree you presently shall hear
In splendor o'er the mountains some thirty wagons came
They were awaited by a wicked band, oh Utah, bear the blame!
Come all you sons of liberty
An' to my rhyme give ear
T'is of a bloody massacre
You presently shall hear
In th splendor of a mountain sight
Forty wagons came
And they were attack-ed by an evil band
O, Utah where's they shame
In Indian colors all wrapped in shame this bloody crew was seen
To flock around this little train all on the meadows green
They were attacked in the morning as they were on their way
They forthwith corralled their wagons and fought in blood array
In Indian colors, all dressed in shame
This bloody band was seen
All for t' attack that wagon train
On Mountain Meadows green
They a'ttacked them in broad daylight
As they were on their way
They soon around their wagons all
An' fought in brave arae
Till came the captain of the band, he surely did deceive
Saying, "If you will give up your arms we'll surely let you live."
When once they had give up their arms, thinking their lives to save
The words were broken among the rest which sent them to their graves.
Then Lee, th leader of th band
To them his word did give
That if they would give up their arms
He'd surely let them live
An' when they had give up their arms
They'd gain their lives to save
Th word was passed among th ranks
That sent them to their graves
When once they had give up their arms they started for Cedar City
They rushed on them in Indian style, oh what a human pity!
They melted down with one accord like wax before the flame,
Both men and women, old and young, oh Utah!, where's thy shame?
And when they had give up their arms
They started for Cedar City
They decended on them in Indian style
O, what a human pity
They melted down with one accord
Like wax before th flame
Both men an' women, young an' old
O, Utah where's they shame
Both men and women, old and young, a-rolling in their gore
And such an awful sight and scene was ne'er beheld before
Their property was divided among this bloody crew
And Uncle Sam is bound to see this bloody matter through.
Both men an' women, young an' old
A lie'n in their gore
And such an awful sight an' sound
T'was n'er beheld before
Their property was divided
Among th bloody crew
And Uncle Sam is bound t' see
This bloody matter through
The soldiers will be stationed throughout this Utah land
All for to find those murderers out and bring them to his hands.
By order from their president, this bloody deed was done
He was the leader of the Mormon Church, his name was Brigham Young.
His soldiers must be stationed
Through out this Utah land
All for t' seek those muder'ers out
An' bring them to his hand
By order of their President
This evil deed was done
He was th leader of th Morman Church
His name is Brigham Young
