Lyrics
Cactus Flower Rag
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Beautiful child
Poorest in the nation
Living your life
On the reservation
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Beautiful child
You’ll die out on the highway
Navajo child
Try and see it my way
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Well, they’ll never let you get ahead
They’re only looking for a few good men
And if you understood what’s ahead
You wouldn’t want to grow up
You’re better off with the N.A.C.
You’re better off with the N.A.C.
