Great White Buffalo (Live at Municipal Auditorium, Dallas, TX - July 1976)

Whoo-hoo!

Hey, Godspeed

We're gonna do a little song now

We'll do a song called " The Great White Buffalo Herd"

Well, alright

Well, listen, everybody

To what I gotta say

There's hope for tomorrow

Ooh, we're waking up today

Well, it happened long ago

In the new magic land

The Indian and the buffalo

Existed hand in hand

The Indian needed food

He needed skins for a roof

But he only took what they needed, baby

Millions of buffalo were the proof, yeah

It's alright

But then came the white man

With his thick and empty head

He couldn't see past the billfold

He wanted all the buffalo dead

It was sad, it was sad

Yes, indeed

Yes, it happened a long time ago, baby

In the new magic land

See, the Indian and the buffalo, they existed hand in hand

The Indians, they needed some food

And some skins for a roof

They only took what they needed, baby

Millions of buffalo were the proof

But then came the white dogs

With their thick and empty heads

They couldn't see past the billfold

They wanted all the buffalo dead

Everything was so sad

When I looked above the canyon walls

Some strong eyes did I see

I think it's somebody comin' 'round to save my ass, baby

I think, I think he's comin' around to save you and me

Boys, I said, above the canyon wall

Strong eyes did glow

It was the leader of the land, baby

Oh, my God, the great white buffalo

Look out, look out

Well, he got the battered herd

He led 'em 'cross the land

With the great white buffalo

They gonna make a final stand

The great white buffalo

Comin' 'round to make a final stand

Well, look out here he comes

The great white buffalo, baby
