lirik lagu ed johnson (usa) - dakota sioux
[verse 1]
the old man on the mountain, he came to be my friend
we talked a lot, he told me much, he felt life near the end
he told of days, now gone by, before the white man came
with his deadly guns and his sharpened plows to give the land his name
[verse 2]
once, wild grass grew from sky to sky in rolling plains of brown
with crystal lake and mountain streams and clouds of fleece and down
to this, they’ve added billboard signs and wire fence, he said
the onеs who lived here first don’t mind, most of thеm are dead
[verse 3]
and the steinway’s boy, he stole a car and he smashed into a tree
they slapped his hands and sent him home, the judge picked up his fee
the next case tried was an indian boy, he stole a pair of socks
he spent his next six years in jail busting country rocks
[saxophone solo]
[verse 4]
and the last time that he talked to me, he looked me in the eye
be glad your skin is dark like mine and hold your head up high
i knew your mom and your daddy well, before the hunger came
they would’ve lived, had they crawled, but you know they wouldn’t play his games
they wouldn’t play his games
[verse 5]
they’d take your name if they could and they’d make it smith or brown
but bending willow ~ it fits you well, don’t let ’em tear you down
think of seas of buffalo grass, remember where they grew
your parents that you never knew were proud dakota sioux
dakota sioux, dakota sioux, dakota sioux
[chanting]
