The Crimson Parson Lyrics – Peter La Farge
Singer: Peter La Farge
Title: The Crimson Parson
They called him the crimson parson
The reverend Chivington
History don’t recommend him
For the trouble he begun
“Kill and scalp all Indians
Big and little,” was his cry
“Nits make lice, kill the babies too
Let every Indian die”
Oh the reverend colonel Chivington
With the Bible by his side
Oh the reverend colonel Chivington
He took a bloody ride
When he was done his riding
From hell’s belly hate was tore
For the reverend colonel Chivington
Started up a mighty war
In the valley of the sand creeks
Slept the peaceful dreaming tribes
Chivington knew them for peaceful
But glory was his bride
In the middle of the night
He fell upon the place
Three-hundred Indians died at once
A victory in disgrace
Fifteen were warriors
The rest woman and child
They scalped and mascaraed them all
Colonel Chivington went wild
The Arapaho and the Cheyenne
Though they’d been talking peace
Died that night at sand creek
So they would not increase
Oh the reverend colonel Chivington
With the Bible by his side
Oh the reverend colonel Chivington
He took a bloody ride
When he was done his riding
From hell’s belly hate was tore
For the reverend colonel Chivington
Started up a mighty war
Broken, bad hurt, and outraged
North the survivors marched
Pickin up recruits as they went
For revenge their throats were parched
They cut the overland stage route
Struck down the telegraph pole
They killed more white’s than Chivington reds
(?) And they took an unbuyable toll (?)
All the way up to Sitting Bull
They told their bloody tale
And the war pipes smoked as they hadn’t smoked
Since they cut the Oregon Trail
Indian war for just twelve years
Scattered about the land
And the reverend colonel Chivington
Done it all with his little band
Oh the reverend colonel Chivington
With the Bible by his side
Oh the reverend colonel Chivington
He took a bloody ride
When he was done his riding
From hell’s belly hate was tore
For the reverend colonel Chivington
Started up a mighty war
