The odyssey of your life |
| [00:38.02] |
A motherless child , you were torn from your home |
| [00:41.86] |
By decree of the county affairs |
| [00:45.83] |
Good Christians, they gave you a lily-white dress |
| [00:49.97] |
And shorn back that Indian hair |
| [00:53.99] |
Told ya study your Bible, be silent and still |
| [00:58.16] |
And take to the ways of the whites |
| [01:02.47] |
Nothin' they offered could break down your will |
| [01:06.52] |
For you ran for the gates one night |
| [01:12.90] |

Your daddy , Joe Little, had woes of his own |
| [01:35.57] |
Drink was much stronger than greed |
| [01:39.50] |
But some in the city felt native red hands |
| [01:43.58] |
Were no place to let rest a deed |
| [01:47.37] |
Oklahoma was rich with the stench of black oil |
| [01:51.65] |
And the men who came there to drill |
| [01:55.29] |
In the sun baked clay of Indian lands |
| [01:59.92] |
There, in the desolate fields |
| [02:06.06] |

Songs that'a keep you alive |
| [02:32.80] |
Mysterious crimes, oh they swept through the county |
| [02:37.08] |
Waving the finger of blame |
| [02:40.96] |
Eyes turned to Joe Little |
| [02:43.12] |
A couple too many acres of land to his name |
| [02:48.63] |
No one would have heard the lone shot in the night |
| [02:52.87] |
They never posted his bail |
| [02:57.00] |
Big Joey Little, never walked out |
| [03:00.99] |
Of Sheriff Stanton's jail |
| [03:06.97] |

The odyssey of your life |
| [03:25.11] |
For all of the lives you had lived this far |
| [03:29.37] |
No part of you could have known |
| [03:33.42] |
The evil hearts of the men who would fetch ya |
| [03:38.16] |
One night by the side of the road |
| [03:41.99] |
The moon, it grew dark and the frost would form |
| [03:46.33] |
Before ya finally were found |
| [03:50.31] |
Chained to a log in a torn white dress |
| [03:54.04] |
Shakin' wild eyed on the ground |
| [04:00.44] |

Such were the trials of your life... |
| [04:19.21] |
Yet in the years to come, you took a man |
| [04:23.09] |
Raised five of your own |
| [04:27.07] |
And for a spell it was as almost as though |
| [04:30.94] |
The light of justice had shown |
| [04:34.87] |
The hand that had written this part but for you |
| [04:38.89] |
And made it all plenty hard |
| [04:43.07] |
Gave you a gusher, a well spring of oil |
| [04:46.94] |
There in your own back yard |
| [04:52.97] |
So pile them kids in the plush back seat |
| [04:57.15] |
Ridin' shotgun in the Packard to town |
| [05:01.03] |
With your man, Tom Fisher, one hand on the wheel |
| [05:05.27] |
The other on your knee now |
| [05:11.40] |
