Acer Negundo by Elliott Brood Lyrics

Acer Negundo is gunning for this town
With a Rag Tag Army that he bought and stole from the Civil War

And if you ever sit and listen to him long enough
He sit down and he’ll fill you up
With the store bought lies he stole from your head
And Louis Riel
Louis Riel is dead

Two days gone and not far gone
The Haney twins are hanging from that log
Cause they can’t get down
Well their souls are on the plains

And if you ever sit and listen to him long enough
He sit down and he’ll fill you up
With the store bought lies he stole from their heads
And the Plains of Abraham
Are far from dead

And I say salutations all my friends
Well that long black winter is heading for you my friends
And well it will get you down and he will kill you
And take you down he’ll kill you in this town
And that’s the story I have come to tell
