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

From playing the streets , to playing a Martin Scorsese film , Congrats Charley!

[@fannys941]

😮 What film is that?

@@fannys941 His newest, Killers of the Flower moon

[@jennifersmith6277]

​@@fannys941killers of the flower moon is the movie name.

[@emersontayten]

Charley thinks of himself as too cool to appreciate your comment. Sad. But he is a great singer.

[@willbarkley9414]

It’s really cool Martin decided to make a film built around an ol Charley Crockett song!

[@personreanimation]

No way this is a song for the movie that is awesome Charley! Seen this dude 5 times and it is out of this world everytime man.

[@DowntimeMedia]

It just has the same title, its not in the movie

[@Angelraya]

Just saw Charley open for Chris Stapleton in San Antonio and I was honestly more excited for Charley.

[@91doctorj]

He's definitely much more of a pure artist. I love Chris Stapleton but I think he's more of a commercial sell out. At this point in his career. I don't know if sell out is the right word but you get my drift.

[@Hank.Flamingo]

When I saw those shows booked I thought “I think this should be the other way around.”

[@catmansma]

And so it should be....ni disrespect to Mr Stapleton, but...I mean...hes Charley Crockett.

[@chriscorman734]

How is it this man isn't a household name ?

[@918kickinwing]

I'm Osage. Charley is one of my favorite artists. To have this man sing this for the movie is decent. The devil lived among the Osage. I'm over my head right now.

[@TRNproductions257]

im from the 918 too but im cherokee, i didn't even notice his song was in the movie when i watched it for the first time.

[@DowntimeMedia]

that's because its not in the movie, just has the same title @@TRNproductions257

[@Auntkekebaby]

@@TRNproductions257 it wasn't in the movie. I just saw it. I think that it's a coincidence. Charley already knew the story. Got a hold of the book and made a super smart move to drop it at the same time

Making Marty Robbins and the boys proud

[@andrewwilhorn1066]

I've thought the same on much of his music.

[@MaksimOutdoors]

Charley is just the gift that keeps giving, just when you think he can’t top his old music he drops this 🔥

[@mastterby]

ADORE the little references to A Stolen Jewel!

[@Csweat226]

There’s lots of new Charley Fans here that probably won’t catch that

[@Auntkekebaby]

Yup. Same story.

[@alancolclough4347]

Just found this song, and wow what a voice and lyrics. Now I'm busy searching his other tunes .

[@YyY-gi6xs]

Just can't describe, how cool this song is🤠😎

[@kurtzwar729]

Great song Charley Crockett & T-Bone Burnett. Throwing history in your face. Tell the truth, no matter what. We are still paying for things we did. God bless Charley Crockett & T-Bone.

[@chriscorman734]

Congratulations to one of the most humble people walking the earth. Just love everything about his music. His live at the Ryman Auditorium years from now will be considered one of the best recordings ever.

[@revamp777]

London was an eye opener for me Charley Crockett, Amazing talent astonishing voice great band, Pure Americana.

[@TezHibmeister]

Best song man since bob dylan. I can't get enough charley crockett!

[@steveolie985]

ever listen to Mark Knopfler ?

[@ryanwiatrek7786]

Definitely has the hurricane vibes. Love it

LYRICS I BEG OF YOU

[@countercultureprophet8236]

This is amazing. I've been waiting all month for this movie to come out. As an Oklahoman I am excited and proud that it is being made but seeing my favorite musician being a part of it takes my joy to a whole new level.

[@DowntimeMedia]

This song isn't in the movie, its just the same title

[@lumberzach7206]

Ur a goof, the song has nothing to do with the movie and it’s nothing to be proud of

[@kayturbeville844]

This man's voice is beyond great!!! Love this song, loved the book and can't wait to see the movie!!!❤❤❤

[@est.mayday]

Charley opened for whiskey myers and honestly was one of the best concert performances I’ve seen! Big fan !

[@ComedyBros5]

Hell yea. Charley and The Blue Drifters put off headliner performance energy every time - they have no business opening for anyone!

[@Auntkekebaby]

​​@@ComedyBros5 It feels so weird to see them open. It's been headliner quality. How do you go on after them?

[@ComedyBros5]

@@Auntkekebaby Exactly. I’ve seen them 5 times now, 3 headlining and 2 opening. Both the opening performances, people started leaving once the headliner came in. Granted, the headliners were Ryan Bingham and Dwight Yokham. Haha

[@Auntkekebaby]

@@ComedyBros5 3x. They have no business opening up for anybody! Damn, some left b4 Dwight? I wouldn't leave on Dwight but I get some of it. CC and The BD have a special thing going. Some folks just want that and it was their only chance to catch them. I saw CC open for Willie and I think some folks left THAT show! I didn't leave because Willie is a legend. It was a beautiful show.

[@andrewjunod3125]

unreal… dude is soo good

[@1144Phoenix]

Whole family has loved Charley for years. I won tickets to see him. He's the real deal. I'm so proud and happy for him. ❤️

[@CameronL211]

This better win an Oscar for best movie soundtrack

[@eternalbeing3339]

Yeah i was pulling up shazam in the theater. So many good old songs in the film.

[@bileductable]

Wow! Feels pretty cool knowing Scorsese is also a fan of Charlie 😁

[@pirekova]

Dylan should play this song during one of his coming concerts!

[@thomasbodry4082]

Got this song as an ad, it’s a good song

[@stratasticB]

It's a somber story, and the movie did it justice. Now my favorite dude is singing songs about it. It's surreal being from Tulsa and learning about our sordid history in my 30s.

[@bradleyhowell4155]

Charlie crocket never dissapoints. Hope he visits north dakota soon.

[@debishelton9647]

Hey Charley~Marty Robbins sure would be PROUD! 😎💖

[@hobonickel840]

Just listened to Ringo Starr's Beaucoups Of Blues album for first time and immediately thought of Charley Crocket. Charley should cover the song Loser's Lounge, it's the perfect wheelhouse and would bring more people to recognize Ringo's old school country prowess.

[@benniesimm9528]

Charley just told the story in 3 minutes

[@ladythorofmuffins]

TBone always kills it when it comes to music and Charley is so amazing and talented and I’m in LOVE with this collab!

[@Auntkekebaby]

incredible collab. I hope that its more than one song.

[@56TheAnimal]

Who is this tbone?

[@ladythorofmuffins]

@@56TheAnimal i know him as the producer of some pretty AMAZING soundtracks (O Brother being the biggest one he is known for) but he is also known for playing with bob dylan in the 70's. he has a great ear for southern gothic, americana, and appalachian folk music. if you are a "I listen to everything but country" kind of person and want to get into folk, bluegrass or americana music, DEF listen to the soundtracks he worked on.

[@mechelemayoski9117]

Amazing video Just like charlie Much love

[@samp6113]

I hope this exposes folks to Charlie!!

[@TheSlowoldman]

Congratulations Charley! Well deserved! Hope it will expose even more people to your talent.

[@vonmurderface]

I was on the fence about going to the theater to see this trillion hour long movie. But now I'm going to hear this song. I love Charley Crockett so much, I've seen him in two different countries. He's so talented, it's insane.

[@DowntimeMedia]

Its not in the movie lol it just has the same title as the film
