Now That the Buffalo's Gone |
Can you remember the times |
That you have held your head high |
And told all your friends of your Indian claim |
Proud good lady and proud good man |
Your great-great grandfather from Indian blood sprang |
And you feel in your heart for these ones |
Oh it’s written in books and in song |
That we’ve been mistreated and wronged |
Well over and over I hear the same words |
From you good lady and you good man |
Well listen to me if you care where we stand |
And you feel you’re a part of these ones |
When a war between nations is lost |
The loser, we know, pays the cost |
But even when Germany fell to your hands |
Consider dear lady, consider dear man |
You left them their pride and you left them their land |
And what have you done to these ones |
Has a change come about Uncle Sam |
Or are you still taking our lands |
A treaty forever George Washington signed |
He did dear lady, he did dear man |
And the treaty’s being broken by Kinzua Dam |
And what will you do for these ones |
Oh, it’s all in the past you can say |
But it’s still going on here today |
The government now want the Iroquois land |
That of the Senaca and the Cheyenne |
It’s here and it’s now you can help us dear man |
Now that the buffalo’s gone. |
