I was a Highwoman |
| [00:04.399] |
And a mother from my youth |
| [00:07.549] |
For my children I did what I had to do |
| [00:13.264] |
My family left Honduras when they killed the Sandinistas |
| [00:18.107] |
We followed a coyote through the dust of Mexico |
| [00:22.680] |
Every one of them except for me survived |
| [00:27.987] |
And I am still alive |
| [00:35.370] |
I was a healer |
| [00:38.155] |
I was gifted as a girl |
| [00:42.971] |
I laid hands upon the world |
| [00:46.320] |
Someone saw me sleeping naked in the noon sun |
| [00:52.212] |
I heard "witchcraft" in the whispers and I knew my time had come |
| [00:57.099] |
The bastards hung me at the Salem gallows hill |
| [01:02.536] |
But I am living still |
| [01:06.924] |
I was a freedom rider |
| [01:09.586] |
When we thought the South had won |
| [01:13.119] |
Virginia in the spring of '61 |
| [01:17.217] |
I sat down on the Greyhound that was bound for Mississippi |
| [01:24.170] |
My mother asked me if that ride was worth my life |
| [01:29.626] |
And when the shots rang out I never heard the sound |
| [01:34.188] |
But I am still around |
| [01:38.303] |
And I'll take that ride again |
| [01:40.810] |
And again |
| [01:42.317] |
And again |
| [01:43.557] |
And again |
| [01:44.795] |
And again |
| [01:52.621] |
I was a preacher |
| [01:55.908] |
My heart broke for all the world |
| [01:59.455] |
But teaching was unrighteous for a girl |
| [02:04.207] |
In the summer I was baptized in the mighty Colorado |
| [02:10.105] |
In the winter I heard the hounds and I knew I had been found |
| [02:15.005] |
And in my Savior's name, I laid my weapons down |
| [02:20.009] |
But I am still around |
| [02:27.215] |
We are The Highwomen |
| [02:28.838] |
Singing stories still untold |
| [02:33.944] |
We carry the sons you can only hold |
| [02:38.835] |
We are the daughters of the silent generations |
| [02:43.959] |
You sent our hearts to die alone in foreign nations |
| [02:48.426] |
It may return to us as tiny drops of rain |
| [02:53.388] |
But we will still remain |
| [02:57.801] |
And we'll come back again and again and again |
| [03:02.706] |
And again and again |
| [03:08.079] |
And we'll come back again and again and again |
| [03:12.958] |
And again and again |
