lyrics

Chief Joseph / Trouble Song

Chief Joseph please understand
I had to leave my homeland
start a new line. leave my bones behind
Come to California, yeah my fortune to find
Come to California, leave my troubles behind
and what did I find?
wherever I go
find me trouble and woe

Chief Joseph I understand
Not all came of their own plan
sold into slavery took hundreds of years to be free
come to the land of Dixie, come in shackle and chain
come down the Mississippi yeah well, could not keep your own name
it will drive you insane
beyond belief
so much trouble and grief

New day rise
Keep hope alive
Hold on

Woe mama yeah!

come to the land of Liberty yeah
brother and sister and me
come to the land of Equality
come pilgrim, refugee
we all come to be free
its a long road to run
yeah there’s much to be won
and race is not done
but I believe we shall overcome!

said a new day surely rise
keep your eye on the prize
hold on, hold on
ain’t no time, sing good trouble
ain’t no time, sing good trouble
ain’t no time, sing good trouble
trouble song.

Yeah!
