Verse

DTrader sailed a jeweled crown Ahumanity rowed thF♯m7e way
GExploring to cGommand more laEmnd, scDheming how to ruEmle the wF♯maves.
DTrader spied a virgin plain and Anamed it for velvet F♯mrobes
GWrote home declaring tGhere's a plEmace where toDtally foEmlks are frF♯mee
D/ANourishment fiClls the prG/Dairies and the hillsides
AndD/A animals stCalk the moG/Duntains and the seaside
AndD/A fish aboCund the lG/Dakes and birds the skies, siDgned sinceArelyD.


Verse

Trader found the jeweled land was occupied before he came
By humans of a second look who couldn't even write their names shame
Trader said they're not as good as folks who wear velvet robes
Wrote home again and asked, "Please help, their breasts I see; they're not like me


Chorus

Banish them from our prairies and our hillsides
Clear them from our mountains and our seaside
I want them off our lakes so please reply, signed sincerely.


Verse

Trader he got the crown okay, cleared humanity from his way
He civilized all he saw making changes every single day, say


Chorus

Shops sprang over the prairies and the hillsides
Then roads cut through the mountains to the seaside
The other kind fled to hide, by and by, and so sincerely
Gcried.
