White Dove Lyrics
White dove sittin' on a blackberry bush
Is there any questioning why
Tell me what heaven you're bound for today
Feel just like I could cry
Feel just like I could cry
Little squirrel sitting on a ___ ___ rock
Wodering where the winter meal is coming from
Tired of fighting for it, gonna lay down my gun
Just know that my work is done
Just know that my work is done
Little boy blue now come blow your horn
No more of the sheep is around
Said I'm tired of fighting, gonna lay down my gun
Just know that my work is done
Just know that my work is done
Just know that my work is done
Just know that my work is done
Is there any questioning why
Tell me what heaven you're bound for today
Feel just like I could cry
Feel just like I could cry
Wodering where the winter meal is coming from
Tired of fighting for it, gonna lay down my gun
Just know that my work is done
Just know that my work is done
No more of the sheep is around
Said I'm tired of fighting, gonna lay down my gun
Just know that my work is done
Just know that my work is done
Just know that my work is done
Just know that my work is done

Beautiful song sung by Ricky Medlock (Blackfoot). Medlock's dad, Shorty, may be the inspiration for Ronnie writing The Ballad of Curtis Lowe.
@HDH Yes, Medlock's dad, Shorty, was definitely the inspiration for The Ballad of Curtis Lowe. The members of Lynyrd Skynyrd said that he was the inspiration for that song in a radio interview.

Clearly the man is sad and tired of fighting. This was during the Vietnam War so is it a protest song of sorts? Medlocke, being a Native American, loves nature and peace. Beautiful song. I would love to hear him explain it!
