In the land they call the west 
On the prairie's virgin crest 
Lived a great man and his braves 
And he led them to their graves 
Big chief plays with baby son 
The work of the Indian today is done 
Life is easy, life is grand 
'Til there is white man, gun in hand 

Oh oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh 

Started out when settlers came 
And built their homes on the Indian range 
Big Chief Woolly Bosher liked it none 
Traded with a bad man for a gun 

Oh oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh 

Big chief looks out at his great land 
Locomotive on the prairie stands 
Life that leak from the city in the east 
Let us destroy that iron beast 

Oh oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh 

Big chief rides on the trail tonight 
Tread the land for which he must fight 
In their fight for love and glory 
Some Indians were saved 
They lived to tell the story 
And Woolly Bosher prays 

Oh oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh 

Big chief rides on the trail tonight 
Soldier boys marching in the morning light 
Bring the guns, bring the bows 
Let's blow them into heaven let's see if God knows 

Oh oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh 

One hundred men must have to die 
When a thousand soldiers look you in the eye 
Big chief sees his men fall round 
The soldiers kill and the bugle sounds 

In their fight for love and glory 
No Indians were saved 
And Big Chief Woolly Bosher 
Had written on his grave 
He has done no wrong 
Except being bold 

Oh oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh
