The original song is by Neil Young...but Grace Potter sings its so brilliantly...with so much emotion. To top it off, the trumpet and Joe Satriani on the guitar....the song is stuck in my head.
He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
And a palace in the sun.
On the shore lay Montezuma
With his coca leaves and pearls
Through the halls he often wondered
With the secrets of the world.
And his subjects
gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see.
And the women all were beautiful
And the men stood
straight and strong
Oh look around
So that others could go on.
And I know she's living there
And she loves me to this day
I still can't remember when
Or how I lost my way.
He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer.
