Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was taken from Lac Seul to Winnipeg
I, was only two years old
Mama thought I’d grow up in a better way
That's what everyone from Lonely Lake was told
I travelled to the city with the Bannatynes
Grandma was a widow by that time
I was raised up with a secret buried down
I was raised up white, but I was brown
[Chorus]
Where the Red River meets the Assiniboine
I left all the white pines behind
Holding onto memories of another time
Waiting for that train down the line
[Verse 2]
Longing for the land and my family
I realized they weren't comin' back for me
Grandma wanted me to have the finer things
So I went to the white academy
My brother's names were Gerald and Charlie
They stayed with our mother in Gold Pines
I never got the chance to grow up with them
They were raised out on the trapping line
[Chorus]
Where the Red River meets the Assiniboine
I left all the white pines behind
Holding onto memories of another time
Waiting for that train down the line
[Instrumental]
Charlie and Gerald joined the army
I was still a kid, when they went to war
I'd sit in the station up on Higgins Street
That's where they would have been deployed
I was told they died out on the battlefield
But in my heart I knew differently
Searching through a sea of strangers
Would I know them? Would they know me?
[Chorus]
Where the Red River meets the Assiniboine
I left all the white pines behind
Holding onto memories of another time
Waiting for that train, down the line
I'm waiting for that train down the line
I'm waiting for my brothers down the line
