Were You There |
Were you there at the creek |
That is called Wounded Knee |
Were you there at the creek |
There but unseen |
In the 7th Calvary |
Were you there at the creek |
Were you there on the wind |
That hammered the plains |
Were you there on the wind |
To scatter their names |
I’ll ask you again |
Were you there on the wind |
It makes me weep |
It makes me weep |
It makes me weep |
Now how could you be |
Were you there in the crowd |
When the first shot rang out |
Were you there in the crowd |
Moving about |
Black powder cloud |
Were you there in the crowd |
Were you there by the Sioux |
With the white Flag of Truce |
Were you there by the Sioux |
'Cause the flag was no use |
The bullets all flew |
Were you there by the Sioux |
It makes me weep |
It makes me weep |
It makes me weep |
Now how could you be |
If you choose sides |
I know where you were |
With soldiers that ride |
So stalwart and sure |
Not into pride |
Into massacre |
It makes me weep |
It makes me weep |
It makes me weep |
Now how could you be |
