What Else Could I Do Lyrics

What else could i do? SONG by Don Conescenti
Verse 1
Wire fences along the prairie
Wooden cross along the road
Great whilte Father and all his Soldiers
Made Ghost of the Buffalo.
I tell the young ones
to keep the old ways.
They say those are easy words for you
_______________________

CHORUS
My dear Grandson. My sweet Granddaughter .
yes i am old my days are few.
But if the lives of all your people
Were in your hands What would you do?
_____________________________
Verse 2
They killed my son
Stole my woman
Burned the lodges , took our food.
Ball and chain, around my ankles.
Hey What else could i do?
REPEAT CHORUS
Verse 3
Iron horses down in the Valley
Silver birds up in the blue.
Yeah i signed papers, to free my people
hey what else could id?
what else could i do?
Hey...what else could i do?
