Where will you rest, Tecumseh
And where will be your home?
The pioneer and Army cleared
The land you used to roam

Tecumseh get your rifle
Tecumseh get your gun
For on the field tomorrow morn
You'll meet with Harrison

Now who can sell the air
And who can sell the sea?
Who has the right to sell the land
Put here for you and me?

Tecumseh get your rifle
Tecumseh get your gun
For on the field tomorrow morn
You'll meet with Harrison

Now word is on the Valley
And on the hills around
To go and fight for freedom
Up in old Prophetstown

Tecumseh get your rifle
Tecumseh get your gun
For on the field tomorrow morn
You'll meet with Harrison

Tecumseh he was shot down
Upon the field in Thames
Around him lay the wounded
And dyin' Shawnee braves

Tecumseh get your rifle
Tecumseh get your gun
For on the field tomorrow morn
You'll meet with Harrison

So remember all you people
The man so true and brave
For family and his freedom
He fought so hard to save

Tecumseh get your rifle
Tecumseh get your gun
For on the field tomorrow morn
You'll meet with Harrison
