As long as the moon shall rise as long as the rivers flow

As long as the sun will shine as long as the grass shall grow

The Senecas are an Indian tribe of the Iroquios nation

Down on the New York Pennsylvania Line you find their reservation

After the US revolution cornplanter was a chief

He told the tribe these men they could trust that was his true belief

He went down to Independence Hall and there was a treaty signed

That promised peace with the USA and Indian rights combined

George Washington gave his signature the Government gave its hand

They said that now and forever more that this was Indian land

As long as the moon shall rise

As long as the rivers flow

As long as the sun will shine as long as the grass shall grow

On the Seneca reservation there is much sadness now

Washington treaty has been broken and there is no hope no how

Across the Allegheny River they throwing up a dam

It will flood the Indian country a proud day for Uncle Sam

It has broke the ancient treaty with a politician grin

It will drown the Indians graveyards cornplanter can you swim

The earth is mother to the the Senecas they trampling sacred ground

Change the mint green earth to black mud flats as honor hobbles down

As long as the moon shall rise

As long as the rivers flow you thirsty

As long as the sun will shine

As long as the grass shall grow
