about

Recorded at Retrophonic Studios April 2015 by Jim Devito.

lyrics

henry was a miner
way back in 49
when the walls collapsed and crushed his skull
he was a friend of mine
he left his wife in kentucky
fed her all the same old lies
of the consequence and second chance
headed straight for western skies

he met a squaw in shawnee
she was a seminole
they killed her tribe but she survived
was the battle of the great divide
I was that young man
now i am past my time
the days are getting shorter
and the nights are getting fine

it was the land of oklahoma
the land of dust and sweat
where a better man could claim the land
and terms that he set
it was the land of oklahoma
the land of dust and sweat
where a better man could claim the land
and terms that he set

i am an old man now
dyin on my days
but ive seen the past and men forgotten
and all those who paid
i was that young man
now i am past my time
the days are getting shorter
and the nights are getting fine

it was the land of oklahoma
the land of dust and sweat
where a better man could claim the land
and terms that he set
