Western Waterloo Lyrics - Poco

There he goes he's a trader, moving on through the virgin land 

Got the word from the government 

That it's too late for a lowly man, to make a stand 

His reasons read like a prophecy 

He made them up as he went along 

Those who saw it as a falacy are 

Remembered as only dead and gone 

And now we all know who was right 

And the time showed who was wrong. 

We saw them wield with all their might 

I guess they knew that it wouldn't be long 

It wouldn't be long 

He's come to change all the wilderness 

Change the course of the rivers too 

He's not about to stop for any rest 

Somebody, please say we're through 

Here we go again and again 

Save your woman, you'll save the land 

Save the children 

They are the future hands in the promised land 

They're the future hands in the promised land 

They're the future hands in the promised land 

And they were left without a home 

Somebody left them in the cold
