Black brown eyes
Where'd you learn to lie?
Black brown eyes
Where'd you learn how to lie?
Hey now, how'd it come this far?
Why don't we know who we are?
Love changed hands from red to white
Stories gone into the night
I asked my old graying auntie
"Tell me, tell me history"
She just laughed and turned her head
"Hush now, child" is all she said
"Gone and dead" is what she said
Black brown eyes
Where'd you learn to lie?
Black brown eyes
Where'd you learn?
Where'd you learn?
Where'd you learn how to lie?
All your truths gotten traded in
Your black brown eyes and red man skin
Stories folded carefully
Fold away your history
I asked my old graying auntie
"Tell me, tell me history"
She just laughed and turned her head
"Hush now, child" is all she said
Stories lost now in her grave
Sweetgrass filled the air that day
Sweetgrass I will burn and pray
Sweetgrass make her story stay
Black brown eyes
I know why you lie
Black brown eyes
I know why
I know why
I know why you lie
