Peacemaker Hoyt Axton

It was a war bond
That paid the doctor
When he was born it wasn't easy
He had a fever
And he was dying His dad was fighting across the sea

He was almost to sweet Canada's Border
When he ran into a man who was high
On Gun powder and a federal order
That says you've got to fight and die

He answered I'm a runnin'
From the people who are gunnin' down
The people who are running for life

I just wanted to be free
To be all that I was promised
By the fathers of our fathers long before
Now it's gettin' kind of queasy
And I'm feelin' kind of seasick
I think that it's time for me to go

He was almost to sweet Canada's Border
He was almost to sweet Canada's Border
When he ran into a man who was high
On Gun powder and a federal order
That says you've got to fight and die
