The Death Song Songtext

taken to the fort gates they were to be

sacrificed

Singing their death song they were

butchered in succession though the

flag of truce was hanging out the fort gate

and the firing had ceased on both sides

young chief of the Ottawa

Nation received a fatal

blow took it out and gave it to his

captors to receive the blow a second
and third time Not deprived of life was

dragged to the river rope around his

neck and tortured till he died

The blood of the victims was still

visible for days a testimony of the

courage and humanity of Clarke I

couldn't of said it better Myself

Singing their death

song as they were butchered in

succession though the flag of truce

was hanging out the fort gate and the firing

had ceased on both sides

when the prisoners were brought in

the villain Bosseron leveled his piece

at Sergeant Sanscrante right then his

father Clarke's interpreter lowered his

musket saving his sons live thank you

father Interpreter you saved my life

when you saved your son and put and

end to more blood shed but not to

the death song Singing their death

song as they were butchered in

succession though the flag of truce

was hanging out the fort gate and the firing

had ceased on both sides It was the fall of

Fort Sackville during the revolution

gave rise to the capture of Pontiac's son

Fifteen men returning from the falls of Ohio

not knowing the Fort was taken

The men were ambushed by suprise five of them

taken to the fort gates they were to be

sacrificed

Singing their death song they were

butchered in succession though the

flag of truce was hanging out the fort gate

and the firing had ceased on both sides

young chief of the Ottawa

Nation received his fatal

blow took it out and gave it to his

captors to receive the blow a second

and third time Not deprived of life was

dragged to the river rope around his

neck and tortured till he died

The blood of the victims was still

visible for days a testimony of the

courage and humanity of Clarke I

couldn't of said it better Myself

Singing their death

song as they were butchered in

succession though the flag of truce

was hanging out the fort and the firing

had ceased on both sides

when the prisoners were brought in

the villain Bosseron leveled his piece

at Sergeant Sanscrante right then his

father Clarke's interpreter lowered his

musket saving his sons live thank you

father Interpreter you saved my life

when you saved your son and put and

end to more blood shed but not to

the death song Singing their death

song as they were butchered in

succession though the flag of truce

was hanging out the fort and the firing
had ceased on both sides
