Letra de Louis Riel

In 1884, half-breed horsemen knocking at the back door
Louis, Louis what about the people?
The people are hungry, people need food
Down with traitors and the buffalo skinners, send them back from where they came
And bring the good days back again right now
Send them packing, and fight right now
There's a half-breed [?]
[?]
There he was, laying down the wisdom
People are hungry, there they stand dying now
Well the priests are upset and the agents havе been angry
Letters are flying from agеncies to Ottawa:
"Better stop the man no matter what the cost is, Louis Riel is a-putting down the system
Beat him, defeat him throw him a jail house, now"
Oh, Middleton's men at the Fish Creek fight
Running like the devil from the half-breed might
Beaten by the [?], and [?]
Showed up later, at the town of Batoche
With the gatling guns ripping at the ground
And the half-breed bullets shaking at the skies
It's a good day to stand and die right now
Against oppression, and we're fighting right now
Well, the RCM horsemen, the government of course, man
Sent out the [?], thought they would arrest him
Told young Louis that he was gonna hang high
Well he can't get away with a-putting down the government
Beat him, defeat him, throw him in the piss-can now
Well the rest of the story has often been told, they hung young Louis so brave and so bold
Tried so hard a-working for the people, gave up his life for working for the people
I know another man who did that too that hung on a cross in Calvary
Working for the people, against oppression and they took his life
