• AMERICAN BUFFALO •
WHERE HAVE ALL THE BISON GONE LONG TIME PASSIN'
SHARPS SHOOTERS SHOT THEM
NEARLY EVERY ONE
A LONG TIME AGO
WHERE HAVE ALL THE SHOOTERS GONE LONG TIME PASSIN'
INDIANS DID AWAY WITH SOME
SO LONG AGO
THE RED MAN REVERED THE BUFFALO
OF MANITOU'S ABUNDANCE LIVIN' PROOF
TO THE WHITE MAN
A GOLD MINE ON THE HOOF
WHO SAD AS IT SOUNDS SENT 'EM TO
THE NOT-SO-HAPPY HUNTIN' GROUNDS
WHERE ARE ALL THE BUFFALO LONG TIME PASSIN'
HUNTERS AN' SOLDIERS KILLED 'EM
NATIVE PEOPLE TO QUELL
A BLACK HILLS DEATH KNELL
THE RED MAN REVERED THE BUFFALO
OF MANITOU'S ABUNDANCE LIVIN' PROOF
TO THE WHITE MAN
A GOLD MINE ON THE HOOF
WHO SAD AS IT SOUNDS SENT 'EM TO
THE NOT-SO-HAPPY HUNTIN' GROUNDS
LIES WERE SPOKEN TREATIES BROKEN
REVENGE WAS NONE TOO SOON AT HAND
SIOUX ARAPAHO CHEYENNE ATTACKED
BESIDE THE LITTLE BIGHORN
AT CUSTER'S LAST STAND
THE RED MAN REVERED THE BUFFALO
OF MANITOU'S ABUNDANCE LIVIN' PROOF
TO THE WHITE MAN
A GOLD MINE ON THE HOOF
WHO SAD AS IT SOUNDS SENT 'EM TO
THE NOT-SO-HAPPY HUNTIN' GROUNDS
THE RED MAN WHO REVERED WAS HATED
BY THE WHITE MAN WHO ANNIHILATED
THE BUFFALO
AMERICAN BUFFALO
AMERICAN BUFFALO
THE RED MAN REVERED THE BUFFALO
AMERICAN BUFFALO
