Converts At The Tents Of Grace

The Squaw Campaign, a turning point

For the scout raised by the natives

Simon plotting from an eminence

Revenge for the attacks by General Hand

Converts at the Tents of Grace

Converts at the Tents of Grace

Displeased by his kin's perfidy

His renunciatory expedition launched

To champion the cause of the Indians

And spur them into sadistic savagery

Wretched miscreant and brutal apologist

Traitorous renegade an authentic deserter

Inflaming their passions,

besieging forts at night

Behavior that will not go without chastisement

Murdering pioneers, attacking settlements

Videttes on high patrol alerted the frontiersmen

Wretched miscreant and brutal apologist

Traitorous renegade an authentic deserter

Crawford's murder became proof of the vulgarity

Styled scalping character of the Amerindians

Escorting them across Mississippi's divide

Avoiding the regression of civilization

Wretched miscreant and brutal apologist

Traitorous renegade an authentic deserter

Imposing their corruptive decadence on the land

Lawlessness, alcohol, servants to our whiskey

Moravians failed to win them from their habits

Sandusky do-gooders christened the Delawares

Wretched miscreant and brutal apologist

Traitorous renegade an authentic deserter

Rejected by the settlers and by militiamen

Detested by wielders of the fierce tomahawk

Trapped at the junction of two philosophies

Lives of Indian converts, massacred by God's guns

With rum the chiefs tempted

Missionary influence cheapened

Gewgaws and booze harmed their wills

Barbarous Redmen of the Blue Licks

Worse than a loyalist turncoat

Launched the attack on Bryan's Station

A Girty can alone the White create

The inherent enemy within our fate
