歌词

[00:19.36] Can you remember the times
[00:24.16] That you have held your head high
[00:28.66] And told all your friends of your Indian claim
[00:34.10] Proud good lady and proud good man
[00:38.46] Your great-great grandfather from Indian blood sprang
[00:43.72] And you feel in your heart for these ones
[00:48.76] Oh it's written in books and in song
[00:52.63] That we've been mistreated and wronged
[00:57.81] Well over and over I hear the same words
[01:02.14] From you good lady and you good man
[01:07.36] Well listen to me if you care where we stand
[01:12.60] And you feel you're a part of these ones
[01:16.41] When a war between nations is lost
[01:21.11] The loser, we know, pays the cost
[01:26.29] But even when Germany fell to your hands
[01:31.35] Consider dear lady, consider dear man
[01:35.23] You left them their pride and you left them their land
[01:39.92] And what have you done to these ones
[01:44.56] Has a change come about Uncle Sam
[01:48.81] Or are you still taking our lands
[01:54.10] A treaty forever George Washington signed
[01:59.15] He did dear lady, he did dear man
[02:03.26] And the treaty's being broken by Kinzua Dam
[02:08.30] And what will you do for these ones
[02:12.44] Oh, it's all in the past you can say
[02:16.72] But it's still going on here today
[02:21.67] The government now want the Iroquois land
[02:26.93] That of the Senaca and the Cheyenne
[02:31.50] It's here and it's now you can help us dear man
[02:36.52] Now that the buffalo's gone.
