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
