The Vanishing Race lyrics

An Indian brave rode along one day

On a lonely mountain trail

And gazed below with a heart of woe

Where the prairie schooners sail

A vision formed like a mortal storm

In the dust of the wagon train

A vanishing race appeared in space

And he sang this sad refrain:

Ohhhh, wagon trains rolling

They fade from my vision and in time will be gone

I see an eagle in space

My people will follow, a vanishing race

Now great spirits on high,

Please spare them the sorrow

You show to my eye

Now my blankets are rolled

And ride to the valley of the brave Navajo

Vanishing Navajo

Who in time will be gone
