Lyrics

They came from the ocean a long time ago
Searching for the red man, trying to take his soul
Pain and destruction came upon our land
The cavalry’s coming, they don’t give a damn
Many, many, many, many moons ago
The Apache thrived so did the Navaho
Then came the soldiers with our blood on their hands
The red man’s blood flowed across our land
Many, many, many, many moons ago
The Blackfoot thrived so did the Arapaho
This is the story of the red man blues
We’ve got to keep on fighting, we’ve got nothing to lose

Bury my heart at wounded knee
Bury my heart at wounded knee
The trail of tears, the trail of tears, the trail of tears
Got a hold of me

So many days and so many nights
They force us to run and they forced us to fight
Pain and destruction came upon our land
We pointed our arrows, we got to make a stand
Many, many, many, many moons ago
The Comanche thrived so did the Papago
Then came the soldiers with our blood on their hands
And the red man’s blood flowed all across our land
Many, many, many, many moons ago
The Comanche thrived so did the Navaho
This is the story of the red man blues
We’ve got to keep on fighting, we’ve got nothing to lose

Bury my heart at wounded knee
Bury my heart at wounded knee
The trail of tears, the trail of tears, the trail of tears
Got a hold of me...
