Lyrics:
I was in the burial party That went back to Wounded Knee With rock hammers and ice picks To chip the dead ones free After the massacre and the blizzard They’d been frozen to the ground Mother’s and children and warriors We found them all around They were frozen in their agony Or shock and terror as they fled The army’s giant howitzers That sang their song of death We found Chief Big Foot His scarf around his face The ice was frozen blood From his neck down to his waist The bloody footprints along the creek Did the ghost dance for the dead And I hoped that it was true What all the legends said That there’ll be a new spring coming And our families will come home And game will fill the prairies And the crops will always grow We wrapped the bodies in red blankets And placed them on our sled And left their stacked up rifles And the few things that they had “Crazy Horse is buried here” Someone said as we were due to start “just his heart” I told him, crying “it’s only just his heart”
