Cockburn, Bruce - Red Brother Red Sister Lyrics






Went to the museum, red brother
Saw your ancient bloom cut, pressed and dried
A sign said wasn't it clever what they used to do
But it never did say how they died

Hey hey hey...

Went to Regina, red sister
Heard a cab driver say what he'd seen
'There's a grand place to eat out on Number One
All white ladies if you know what I mean'

Hey hey hey...

Went to a pow wow, red brother
Felt the people's love/joy flow around
It left me crying just thinking about it
How they used my Saviour's name to keep you down

Hey hey hey...
