Ridgway Glovers Lament

Lyrics

Some looked for homesteads And some looked for gold Some put their faith in the guns that they'd hold But I will travel, he said, as I can To photograph this great and wondrous land Proud chiefs in headdress with faces like stone Settlers with children in their wilderness home The hills and plains of the great hunting ground Suspicious talks of treaties in the round They surely won't fear me They know of my worth They know my respect for the land of their birth For this I have waited for so long They surely took his scalp to prove him wrong
