Do you hear them crying on the Dakota Access line
Do you hear the beauty in the age-old songs
Meet me at the river offer me your hand
You'll never put the gold back in the land
The saddest song is the sweetest song
The sweetest song of all
The saddest song is the dearest song
The dearest song of all
The saddest song is the only song
The only song I know
We come and go
We come and go
Can you feel the bitter wind that will cut you to the bone
There's nothing in this world will bring you down
You've been a guiding light to me all these years
And I'll follow you along a trail of tears
The saddest song is the sweetest song
The sweetest song of all
The saddest song is the dearest song
The dearest song of all
The saddest song is the only song
The only song I know
We come and go
We come and go
