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

My husband and I went to the Chris Stapleton concert (Charlie opened for him). We left bigger fans of Charlie Crockett. His music is so unique and catchy! We've been playing it on repeat since October!

Very creative. I see no problem with the hand, otherwise it would lose its creativity.
This storytelling style is super affective in a world where we're all bombarded with so much online content. Charley's passion for this story is clear - it's a story that really needs to be told. The artwork is FANTASTIC too, really grabbing your attention. And the 'pinch hand technique is a EPIC way to keep you interested and focused.

Actually the story was told in a 2017 book of the same name written by David Grann. It’s an excellent book, well worth reading. The movie is based on that book.
As a native the story style is amazing from blackjack county chain to this also love
There is something different about Crockett. This man is the real breed
Dam. I haven't seen Killers of the Flower Moon, never heard Charlie Crockett until I saw him on CBS Saturday Morning... he's an awesome singer. 👍
I'm really glad, I lived long enough, to see and hear, this wonderful display☺️!!! My, how 'country', has changed…………
This song just made my flu go away. Got me off my bed and started dancing.
B E S T real country singer..... Since Johnny Cash!

He’s good, but what’s a real country singer? He started out doing hip-hop and jazz, blues, all sorts of stuff.
What a truly amazing video,should be nominated for an Oscar.I love it and the song is particularly amazing too
Native here from texas, love your country as well as your blues, banjo pickin man one of my favorites
Go see him in concert, he really sends it.
Dependable like Johnny Cash was. Tell it like it is Charley. 🎶🤟🏼♥️
Оригинальный,ненавязчивый экскурс в историю,как она есть! Браво Чарли!
One of the greatest videos I have ever seen... 👍🏻
Video top!
The amount of jits I’ve shown your music to during deployment is crazy. At least 30 guys are now fans of country and/or bluegrass because of you

Feel fortunate to have seen Charlie live at a small venue in Chico CA after being a fan for years. Probably a once in a lifetime experience because I think he’s going to blow up.
Quite literally inspirational. The journey of his music career shows it’s possible. Simply genius story telling

@@maria_9540 There's a book titled "Killers of the flower moon" About a tribe of native americans (The Osage) that had gotten rich from oil on their land. Then it was organized and several were killed to take their wealth. It was made into a large scale movie last year.

@@maria_9540 La historia trata sobre una parte poco conocida de la historia de los Estados Unidos llamada The Murders Of The Flower Moon. Sucedió en la nación de Osage en 1921-1922. Los nativos americanos en el Osage tenían derecho a una gran suma anual de dinero debido al petróleo que se encontró en la tierra. El gobierno de los Estados Unidos hizo muchas leyes ignorantes y racistas sobre el dinero anual del petróleo que conducen a asesinar a personas por su dinero muy apetitosas. Las personas mencionadas en la canción (la letra de la descripción) eran todas personas reales.
