Cortez the Killer

He came dancing across the waterWith his galleons and gunsLooking for the new worldIn that palace in the sun.

On the shore lay MontezumaWith his coca leaves and pearlsIn his halls he often wonderedWith the secrets of the worlds.

And his subjectsgathered 'round himLike the leaves around a treeIn their clothes of many colorsFor the angry gods to see.

And the women all were beautifulAnd the men stoodstraight and strongThey offered life in sacrificeSo that others could go on.

Hate was just a legendAnd war was never knownThe people worked togetherAnd they lifted many stones.

They carried themto the flatlandsAnd they died along the wayBut they built upwith their bare handsWhat we still can't do today.

And I know she's living thereAnd she loves me to this day

I still can't remember whenOr how I lost my way.

Girl From The North Country

Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair, Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline, Remember me to one who lives there. She once was a true love of mine.

Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm, When the rivers freeze and summer ends, Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm, To keep her from the howlin' winds.

Please see for me if her hair hangs long, If it rolls and flows all down her breast. Please see for me if her hair hangs long, That's the way I remember her best.

I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all. Many times I've often prayed In the darkness of my night, In the brightness of my day.

So if you're travelin' in the north country fair, Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline, Remember me to one who lives there. She once was a true love of mine.
