Lyrics

In the back of the heart of Blue Earth County
Many, many years ago
I stood in the cold next to my mother
And thirty-eight men blindfold
As the natives took their place
Singing their death song
The prison chaplain called their names
But he got one of the names wrong
Now I've been fighting
With this notion that the world does a good man well
I've seen all around me
A man do hateful things
And he's still walking around, you see
While the good one's gone
Some say there was no mistake
Some say they wanted that man to be hung
For falling in love with a white woman
And caring for her infant son
When he was first captured she cried
"Don't take him, you don't know
If not by him my bones would be bleaching on the prairie
My children with little crow"
Now I've been fighting
With this notion that the world does a good man well
I've seen all around me
A man do hateful things
And he's still walking around, you see
While the good one's gone
As the moment came and the ropes all placed
And the drums they quieted the crowd
The men wailed and danced on the trapdoor gallows
And yelled each other's names so loud
And when they heard their name they yelled
"I'm here, I'm here"
And they yelled out their fellow man's name
For the heavens to hear
And the clergyman spoke on
About Christ and how he died
And the ax was lifted high
Now I've been fighting
With this notion that the world does a good man well
I've seen all around me
A man do hateful things
And he's still walking around, you see
While the good one's gone
Yeah, yeah
Good one's gone
Yeah, yeah
Good one's gone
