Red Brother Red Sister by Bruce Cockburn Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1981

[Verse 1]
Went to the museum, red brother
Saw your ancient bloom cut, pressed and dried
A sign said "Wasn't it clever what they used to do?"
But it never did say how they died

[Chorus]
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey

[Verse 2]
I went to Regina, red sister
Heard a cab driver say what he'd seen
"There's a grand place to eat out on Number One
All white ladies if you know what I mean"

[Chorus]
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
[Verse 3]
I went to a pow-wow, red brother
Felt the people's love / joy flow around
It left me crying just thinking about it
How they used my Saviour's name to keep you down

[Chorus]
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
