Buffalo Jump |
| I’m the child of the great Cree nation |
| See me I’m my father’s son |
| We live by the great bull |
| See me I’m the wild one |
| This morning we are ready |
| To show the buffalo our knives |
| And by the red of sunset |
| We’ll have relieved them of their lives |
| Buffalo jump, feel the thunder |
| Buffalo jump, across the plains |
| Buffalo jump, kill the hunger |
| Crashing over the cliffs of pain |
| The beast has well been gathered |
| We could have had a thousand more |
| We’ll run them to the edge |
| And they’ll tumble out through death’s dark door |
| And soon the blood will flow like water |
| Through these sun bleached ancient bones |
| It will revive this dusty land |
| On which our seeds of life are thrown |
| Buffalo jump, feel the thunder |
| Buffalo jump, across the plains |
| Buffalo jump, kill the hunger |
| Crashing over the cliffs of pain |
| See me I am the bravest |
| I’m the strongest of us all |
| I’ll stand beside the river’s edge |
| And watch the great black waterfall |
| I’m a child of the great Cree nation |
| See me I’m my father’s son |
| We live by the great bull |
| See me I’m the wild one |
| Buffalo jump, feel the thunder |
| Buffalo jump, across the plains |
| Buffalo jump, kill the hunger |
| Crashing over the cliffs of pain |
