I’m walking down that muddy field
I’ve got rain in both my shoes
I’m walking down that muddy field
I’ve got rain in both my shoes

There’s so much we stand to lose
I’ve got the Seneca Women’s Encampment 
for a Future of Peace and Justice Blues

I came late to work yesterday
I might call in sick tomorrow
I’ll hang on the gate of that Seneca fence
Because there’s some rules you just can not follow

There’s so much you stand to lose
I’ve got the Seneca Women’s Encampment 
for a Future of Peace and Justice Blues

Ronnie’s got a big gun
He’s got a bullet for a brain
And Yuri’s got a big gun
Communist and capitalist gain

There’s so much we stand to lose
I’ve got the Seneca Women’s Encampment 
for a Future of Peace and Justice Blues

Them nuclear burns on the skin
They say get awful hot
And Uncle Sam’s dipping in
Taking what we ain’t got


There’s so much we stand to lose
I’ve got the Seneca Women’s Encampment 
for a Future of Peace and Justice Blues

So come on all you women
Camping on this land
Come on all you women
Out here on No Man’s Land

There’s so much we stand to lose
I’ve got the Seneca Women’s Encampment
for a Future of Peace and Justice...

Got the Seneca Women’s Encampment 
for a Future of Peace and Justice...

Got the Seneca Women’s Encampment 
for a Future of Peace and Justice Blues!
