lirik lagu big tom (ire) - indian reservation
[verse 1]
i’ll tell you a tale of sad little boy
someone should’ve been minding
but he happened to roam from an orphans’ home
and no one there could find him
he had no ma and he had no pa
no friends or no relation
though he wasn’t their kin, he wandered in
to the indian reservation
[verse 2]
the old chief grinned as he stroked his chin
and he thought it real surprising
a little white foe, many years ago
would have sparked an indian rising
but the chief was kind, and he said, “never mind
i think on this occasion
this pretty young squaw can be your ma
on the indian reservation”
[verse 3]
and the old chief taught him the knowledge he sought
of the indian craft and culture
he warned of the strife of the city life
the rat race and the vultures
then, as time went by, he realized
that a real full grown caucasian
would no longer dwell so he said farewell
to the indian reservation
[verse 4]
now, it wasn’t the end of his indian friends
no, he would not forget them
he recalled his joy as a sad little boy
the day that he first met them
but to live in the whirl of the white man’s world
he’d need some education
in different ways from his childhood days
in the indian reservation
[verse 5]
well, it came to pass that he learned so fast
he gained some high position
his major fight was the indians’ plight
and he told it with precision
of the stolen land on a scale so grand
and the near extermination
and the final sin of herding ’em in
to the indian reservation
[verse 6]
well, they had to agree with his policy
though they tried hard to reject it
but they had to bow ’cause he was, by now
the president elected
little indian boys were all overjoyed
what a wonderful sensation
he’ll live so free and never to be
in the indian reservation
[verse 7]
i’m sad to reveal the story ain’t real
’cause the chief was only dreaming
and he thought, as he lay, he’d heard folks say
that dreams may have some meaning
now, he wanted to know why they plaguened him so
and he showed some agitation
but as they replied, the old man died
as he heard this revelation
[outro]
a little white boy has wandered in
to our reservation
