Jim Page - Angeline

In this beautiful country
In which I'm livin'
There is a story that you'll find
About a woman named Kikisoblu
And how they called her
Angeline

Angeline, Kikisoblu

She was the eldest daughter
Of Chief Seattle
She watched the world disappear
She said "you can build your
Town around me
I'm not going anywhere"

Angeline, Kikisoblu

It was the fine and expensive
Wife of Doc Maynard
Who defined her into something to be owned
When she said "you're much too beautiful
For such an ugly name
From on you will be known

As Angeline, not Kikisoblu"

And they made her illegal
And all of her people
And the children threw rocks behind her back
But Kikisoblu had some
Rocks of her own
And she threw them back

Angeline, Kikisoblu

Landlord, landlord
Look over your shoulder
Careful who you're talkin' to
Maybe somebody you stole
Somethin' from
Come to take it back from you

Angeline, Kikisoblu

So many thieves, for all that they
Have taken, they leave us with a
World full of holes
But we have rocks,
And we have heroes
And we will not do what we are told

Angeline, Kikisoblu
