[E]
I'm crying for the mother who [C] lost her only [E] son.
Barely 16 years of age, [B] they forced her caribou on.
[E] Across bloody battlefields, [C] under the raging [E] sun.
I'm crying for the mother [C] who lost her [E] only son.
I'm crying for the father [C] who lost his baby [E] child.
Mankind, they carried him off [B] to work this cotton field.
[E] Said, if you don't mind me boy, [C] I'll whip your little [E] thigh.
I'm crying for the father [C] who lost his baby [E] child.
I'm crying for the sister [C] who lost her loving [E] man.
Carried him [Em] off in the dark of night, [B] hung him from a limb.
[E] He couldn't see the faces, [C] but we knew it was them.
I'm crying for the sister [C] who lost her [E] loving man.

I'm crying for the brother [C] who couldn't see [E] the light.
We burned down our cornfields and [B] stole our livestock.
[E] We joined up in a rich man's war [C] when we knew it was a poor [E] man's fight.
I'm crying for the brother [C] who couldn't see [Em] the light.
I'm crying for the mother [C] who lost her [E] only son.
