歌曲歌詞
In a 4 by room at pine ridge on a cold December day
A spirit come down from the heaven world to take red cloud away
Mary and Jesus and the stars and stripes looked down on his bed
Women brought snow in off the ground to cool his fevered head
When the dust of his wars rolled in from the past
Like storm clouds gathered from time
He knew his day on earth had come to make his peace and die
He raised his hand for mercy surrendered his last breath of life
Then six white horses came into the room and took him to the sky
Where he stood face to face with a mysterious form at the edge of eternity
God said hello red cloud now say what you will to me
Red cloud said
I hope the great heavenly father who looks upon us
Will give all the tribes his blessings
That they may go forth in peace
And live in peace all their days
And that our heavenly father will look upon
Our children as his children
That all tribes may be his children
And as we shake hands today on this broad plain
May we forever live in peace
Now my sun is set my day is done
Just like the book says from the days of old
No cross no crown
At the end of the life at the setting sun
We lay our burdens down
We lay our burdens down
When sitting bull laid down to sleep
He didn't know when the morning come
That red tomahawk and police force
Armed with blazing guns
Would storm into his cabin and drag him from his bed
Throw him in the yard like a mangy dog
Where he was shot and left for dead
Murdered by Mclaughlin's men
He never even had a chance
All because he stayed true to the ghost in
His heart and wouldn't give up the dance
His horse started spinin' and twirling
The world went round and round
Everybody saw sitting bull's body
But his soul was nowhere to be found
He stood face to face with a mysterious form at the edge of eternity
God said hello sitting bull now say what you will to me
You made me an Indian and I thank you
But father now I ask you
What treaty have the Sioux made with the white man
That we have broken
Not one
And what treaty has the white man ever
Made with us that they have kept
Not one
Is it wrong for me to love my own and defend them
Is it wicked for me because my skin red or because I am a Sioux
I gladly died for my people and my country because I am an Indian
Just like the book said from the days of old
No cross no crown
At the end of the life at the setting sun
We lay our burdens down
We lay our burdens down
In a jailhouse in Nebraska
It was on September 5
Crazy horse was fighting hard to keep himself alive
He screamed just like a panther
