Indian Song |
| First came the wagons, then came the trains |
| They drove the Indians off of the plains |
| Then came the white man with his fences an' sheep |
| Tore up the ground where the Great Spirit sleeps |
| My Grandfather Borin was a North Texas man |
| He was a cowboy: he loved the land |
| He fathered nine children an' he raised six more |
| And his Daddy fought in our first civil war |
| My Grandmother Axton was part Cherokee |
| She kept it a secret from daddy an' me |
| For someone had told her in her early childhood |
| «You better not mention your Indian blood.» |
| Washington Bureau of Indian Affairs |
| Yeah, the white man loves money, he didn’t care |
| About starving people an' dying came slow |
| Now they have all followed the wild buffalo |
