Charley Crockett - 'Killers Of The Flower Moon' (Official Audio Track)

Killers of the Flower Moon
Written by: Charley Crockett & T-Bone Burnett

Lyrics:
Gather round the fire boys a story I will tell
About a persecution I’m sure you don’t know well
An Oklahoma tale of trading land and gems
And goin’ down a river that you can’t come back up again

Anna Brown was killed in May of ‘21
They made it look like Anna was just having too much fun
Meanwhile in town they threw a big parade
There stood William Hale and the range war that he waged

Just across the county on that very day
In a pool of blood did Charles Whitehorn lay
Charles was Anna’s cousin, so was Henry Roan
Who died shortly after William Hale made him a loan

William Hale had him a nephew who’d married Mollie Kyle
Mollie was Anna’s sister and it sunk in after while
In cities across the country all the papers read
“Reign Of Terror Continues, Another Indian Dead”

Ol’ Hickory Andrew Jackson drove ‘em down through Tennessee
From Ohio came the Osage the mountains, Cherokee
They left ‘em there to wither on that southern Kansas soil
But this was before the man discovered oil

If you come around here with pretty flowers to sow
You might stop and notice nobody’s very old
Grass grows so high it covers up the graves
But listen for a while and it might start givin’ names

They called him the King of the Osage Hills
He went and got everybody killed
Now they talk about the weather like it’s judgment coming soon
For the Killers of the Flower Moon

From playing the streets, to playing a Martin Scorsese film, Congrats Charley!

[personreanimation]

No way this is a song for the movie that is awesome Charley! Seen this dude 5 times and it is out of this world everytime man.

[Angelraya]

Just saw Charley open for Chris Stapleton in San Antonio and I was honestly more excited for Charley.

[YyY-gixs]

Just can't describe, how cool this song is🤠😎

[kickinwing]

I'm Osage. Charley is one of my favorite artists. To have this man sing this for the movie is decent. The devil lived among the Osage. I'm over my head right now.

[MaksimOutdoors]

Charley is just the gift that keeps giving, just when you think he can’t top his old music he drops this 🔥

[MaiKai_Makena_Property_Advisor]

[fatzack]

Making Marty Robbins and the boys proud

[brandonk]

Colter Wall and Charlie Crockett need to do an album of collaborations together.

These boys capture the heart of Western ballads.

Great song Charley Crockett & T-Bone Burnett. Throwing history in your face. Tell the truth, no matter what. We are still paying for things we did. God bless Charley Crockett & T-Bone.

London was an eye opener for me Charley Crockett, Amazing talent astonishing voice great band, Pure Americana.

[chriscorman]

Congratulations to one of the most humble people walking the earth. Just love everything about his music. His live at the Ryman Auditorium years from now will be considered one of the best recordings ever.

[debishelton]

Hey Charley~Marty Robbins sure would be PROUD! 😎💖

[kayturbeville]

This man's voice is beyond great!!! Love this song, loved the book and can't wait to see the movie!!!❤❤❤

[Phoenix]

Whole family has loved Charley for years. I won tickets to see him. He's the real deal. I'm so proud and happy for him. ❤️

[thomasbodry]

Got this song as an ad, it’s a good song

[BackflipBucky]

When that washing machine gets going at the beginning of the song, I can't help but get hyped.

[stratasticB]

It's a somber story, and the movie did it justice. Now my favorite dude is singing songs about it. It's surreal being from Tulsa and learning about our sordid history in my 30s.

[devinmccanna]

Charley done made it to the big time I see

[bradleyhowell]

Charlie crocket never dissapoints. Hope he visits north dakota soon.
