The Indian needed food,

He needed skins for a roof.

But he only took what they needed, baby

Millions of buffalo were the proof

Yeah, it's all right

But then came the white man,

With his thick and empty head.

He couldn’t see past the billfold,

He wanted all the buffalo dead.

It was sad ... It was sad.

Oh yeah

Yes, indeed

Oh, yes

It happened a long time ago, baby.

In the new magic land.

See, the Indian and the buffalo

They existed hand in hand

The Indians, they needed some food,

And some skins for a roof

They only took what they needed, baby.

Millions of buffalo were the proof, yeah.

But then came the white dogs,

With their thick and empty heads

They couldn’t see past the billfold

They wanted all the buffalo dead

Everything was so sad

When I looked above the canyon wall

Some strong eyes did I see

I think it's somebody comin' around

To save my ass, baby

I think - I think he's comin' around

To save you and me.

Boys

I said above the canyon wall.

Strong eyes did glow

It was the leader of the land, baby

Oh my God,

The great white buffalo!

Look out! Look out!
