The Tillers - Tecumseh on the Battlefield

Tecumseh on the Battlefield
Written by Mike Oberst

Where will you rest Tecumseh and where will be your home
The pioneer and army clear the land you used to roam
Tecumseh get your rifle, Tecumseh get your gun
For on the field tomorrow morn you meet with Harrison

Who can sell the air and who can sell the sea
Who has the right to sell the land put here for you and me
Tecumseh get your rifle, Tecumseh get your gun
For on the field tomorrow morn you meet with Harrison

Now word is on the valley and on the hills around
To go and fight for freedom up in old Prophetstown
Tecumseh get your rifle, Tecumseh get your gun
For on the field tomorrow morn you meet with Harrison

Tecumseh, he was shot down upon the field in Thames
Around him lay the wounded and dying Shawnee Braves
Tecumseh get your rifle, Tecumseh get your gun
For on the field tomorrow morn you meet with Harrison

Remember all you people, the man so true and brave
His family and his freedom he fought so hard to save
Tecumseh get your rifle, Tecumseh get your gun
For on the field tomorrow morn you meet with Harrison
