Anyone know Home on the Range by Tori Amos? Need help understanding it.?

i love the song. but i dont understand what it means. does anyone know what its saying? i have the lyrics but i dont get them. its like hard poetry to me. anyway try your best. ill post just so you can read and give your interpretation:

Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam,

Where the deer and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Home, home on the range

Where the deer and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Well jackson made deals, a thief down to his heels,

Had a long trail of tears

The smokies could hide cherokee bride,

Her brave was shot yesterday

Home, home on the range

Where the deer and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Mmm, we know it’s not caroline

Your home is your home the range

May be fine for some but not in my eyes.

Home, home on the range

The smokies always hide

Cherokee bride but in her eyes

We know it’s not caroline.

Yes, yes america

Hey, ah, america

Oh, who discovered your ***?

The white man came, this land is my land,

This is your land they sang.

Home, home on the range

Where the deer and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word

And the skies are not cloudy all day,

And the skies are not cloudy all day,

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

She is referring to the way native Americans were treated by the American nationals. The trail of tears was a time in history when the Cherokees, who lived in Georgia, were removed by an act of congress. This is interesting and valuable reading. I am not sure about the story of Caroline, but it sounds like she was one of the women who suffered the trail of tears.
