The Battle of Prairie du Chien

from Prairie du Chien by Paul Otteson & Faux Fawn

/

lyrics

You may have pressed our Governor Clark with the brass you spin
And though we may wonder, with supplies, what could have been

You had to burn
The Fort we deserved
You had to flee the town
We felt the thirst
In what we had first
The treaty of Ghent sent you out

No men were killed in the days that we fired our rifles hot
Shelby was strong, but her thunder and lightning soon ran out

And knowing our fate
The scars they would blaze
If we stayed the day
With hesitant hand
I laid up our stand
To run away
To fight again another day

You had to burn
The Fort we deserved
You had to flee the town
We felt the thirst
In what we had first
The treaty of Ghent sent you out

You had to burn
The Fort we deserved
You had to flee the town
We felt the thirst
In what we had first
The treaty of Ghent sent you out
