- White Man's Greed -
The soldiers rode their horses fast
Toward the reservation
The braves had gone to hunt for food
The soldiers were 'advanc'n'
The tepees stood tall each eye to eye
The Northern Star was in the sky
All the children fast asleep
Their mothers weary no food to eat
The braves had gone to hunt for food
The soldiers knew just what to do
They aimed their cannon from the hills
The fuses were lit – the earth she stood still
The children they cried
Their mothers they died
The generals were 'a-pranc'n'
Now the chief's young son
He was just barely two
My Lord, oh God, what could he do?
The braves had gone to hunt for food
The soldiers knew just what to do
When the chief came home
He found his young wife
She'd been raped and stabbed
By a soldier's knife
High in the sky an eagle did fly
Looking down he asked himself, why?
All they wanted was to be left alone
To hunt and fish – to keep their tepees warm
Their land was sacred and the air was clean
But the white-man's greed destroyed their dreams
The braves had gone to hunt for food
The soldiers knew just what to do
