The Ballad Of Crazy Horse

Lyrics

(This is the ballad of Crazy Horse)
 Go!
 American hero, true native son
 Never sold your soul, for whisky or a gun
 Some of your brothers brought themselves to shame
 The hang-around-the-forts, cigar store indians
 So called hostile by ignorant white
 But who was there defending the people & their right
 Strength unbroken, never bowed in fear
 To the dirty greedy settlers, who caused the rain
 Of your people's tears
 No
 Wasi-chu
 Custer died for your sins
 Where does your spirit ride today?
 I hear your war cry every time a thunder rings
 Every time the wind blows, I hear your name
 Where does your spirit ride today?
 Up from the ground let the medicine flow
 In the spirit of Crazy Horse
 Red Cloud tricked, the treaties had no worth
 Yet you refused to sign, the warrant of your people's death
 Sacred hills that can't be bought or sold
 Many white lies sold the Black Hills for gold
 Lakota pride!
 (Custer died for your sins)
 Oglala thipi
 (Last stand, so grand, whose land?)
 He thawa pi sni alo
 Stabbed in the back by poisoned Indians
 Died at the hands of blinded men
 Where are ya now? Where are ya now?
 Where are ya now? Where are you?
 Now Crazy Horse
 Where?
 Where are you now Crazy Horse?
 Where?!
 Weeping family kept outside
 Hear the dying warrior chant Oglala pride
 Final breath taken in
 Spirit of the man, again at one with northern wind
 You return to Medicine Earth
 Circle start anew, Lakota rebirth
 Paint the vision, realize your name
 Truth like an animal, never to be tamed
 Where does your spirit ride today?
 I hear your war cry every time a thunder rings
 Every time the wind blows, I hear your name
 Where does your spirit ride today?
 Up from the ground let the medicine flow
 In the spirit of Crazy Horse
