Scarlet's Walk
Lyrics

 

Virginia

In the lush Virginia hills they kept her as long as they could
Cause they knew when the white brother found white shell beads wrapped around her skin
A life giving river 
Her body open as will his hand
With a goodbye there she goes

She may betray all she loves
And even wait for their Savior to come
And in some things maybe he'll be right
But as always the thing that he loves
He will change from her
Sunwise to clockwise to soul trading
Still she'll lay down her body covering him all the same

So hundreds of years go by
(the Red Road carved up by Sharp Knife)
She's a girl out working her trade
And she loses a little each day to ghetto pimps and presidents
Who try and arouse her turquoise serpents
She can't recall what they represent
And when you ask, she won't know

She may betray all she loves
And even wait for their Savior to come
And in some things maybe he'll be right
But as always the thing that he loves
He will change from her
Sunwise to clockwise to soul trading
Still she'll lay down her body covering him all the same

Oh Virginia you won't even
Virginia you won't even
You Virginia, you won't even
You Virginia
Oh Virginia you can't remember your name
