Now That The Buffalo's Gone Lyrics


Can you remember the times
That you have held your head high
and told all your friends of your Indian claim
Proud good lady and proud good man
Some great great grandfather from Indian blood came
and you feel in your heart for these onesOh it's written in books and in song
that we've been mistreated and wronged
Well over and over I hear those same words
from you good lady and you good man
Well listen to me if you care where we stand
and you feel you're a part of these onesWhen a war between nations is lost
the loser we know pays the cost
but even when Germany fell to your hands
consider dear lady, consider dear man
you left them their pride and you left them their land
and what have you done to these onesHas a change come about my dear man
or are you still taking our lands
A treaty forever your senators sign

They do dear lady, they do dear man
and the treaties are broken again and again
and what will you do for these ones
