lyrics

as he heard the whistle of the train that came to take his life
he thought about his children, he thought about his wife
and with a shout he raised his voice and he was heard to say
“oh come now golden eagle to carry me away!”
la la la la la la la la, golden eagle, come!

well the mob they stood around him with clubs within their hands
to break apart and crush the flesh of him who made a stand
well they said that he was guilty and they said that he was wrong
but he stood there on the scaffold and sang that eagle song
la la la la la la la la, golden eagle, come!

then like thunder from the heavens, that golden eagle fell
and he took apart the masses that had made that killer's hell
he landed next the gallows and that hangman brushed aside
as he parted all them shackles and away the captive flied
la la la la la la la la, golden eagle, come!

as he floated through the heavens beneath the eagle's wings
oh that rescued liberated man he lifts his voice and sings
and he thanked that golden eagle who had freed him from his plight
that he'd see his wife and children and he'd be with them tonight
la la la la la la la la, golden eagle, come!

when the eagle had returned the one he'd rescued from the crowd
his triumph shook the heavens and his challenge echoed loud,
“o to all you foolish people, o you wicked seeking blood
one day I will be back for you, you'll perish in the flood”
la la la la la la la la, golden eagle, come!
