I took a bride in the badlands in 1852 She was warm as the morning sun That shone in the morning in the dew There wars up on our land We could not settle down The years went by We watched our people die We laid them in the ground I watched my sons grow tall and strong But one by one they fell My daughters were raped by the Calvary I wish them all to hell I wished them all to hell Custer said to Crazy horse Wolves are on your heel Crazy horse said the wolves will howl When they see you Kneel The Battles are raging and the bullets flew and the skies turned red The men all fought unto the end The women and the children fled When sitting Bull was killed in the stockade For the crime of being proud The people all went with big Foot to find The renegade Chief Red cloud I caught a bullet in my knee I passed out from the pain When I finally came again They said my wife had been slain They said my wife had been slain Custer did to crazy horse Can you feel my blood on your heels Crazy horse said the sound of a heartbeat is a sound you'll never feel they dug a grave in the back of the church laid my people in the ground Buried my wife and my last long son I hung my heavy head down The medicine man he gathered us together Distance in his eyes and before he spoke a word He raised his hands to the sky Through our battles have been lost No one has been won Though it be a hundred years We will overcome We will overcome He lifted his head and he said once more Turn your eyes to the east Soon the morning sun will come No war can cause to cease No war can cause to cease.
