SLAVE
Elton John
Honky Chateau (1972)
There's a river running sweat right through our land
Driven by a man with a bullwhip in his hand
And I've taken just as much as I can stand
Oh we've got to free our brothers from their shackles if we can
Most nights I have to watch my woman cry
Every day I watch the colonel smile
His painted ladies riding in from town
I swear one day I'm gonna burn that whore house to the ground
Slave, slave
To fight the violence we must be brave
Hold on strong to the love God gave
Slave
There's a rumour of a war that's yet to come
That may free our families and our sons
It may lay green lands to barren wastes
The price of release is a bitter blow to face

I always thought these songs Elton and Bernie did about the civil war and the old west was pure gold. i guess thats why i love "Tumbleweed Connection album" so much. they carried that theme out to 2 more albums this one and "Madman...."9 years ago

I had every Elton John album back in the seventies. Just yesterday I was in Sag Harbor record store with my 19 year old son. I nearly fell over when I saw most vinyls (not just Elton John) was A BUCK A PIECE! Depressing! But hell, it was good memories, too! Who misses the records ...I understand that cd's sound better but I miss those jacket covers and the album itself. Boooo hoooooo time marches on....10 years ago
