The Song of Crazy Horse Words & Music by: J D Blackfoot © 1973 Published by: Tokala Music You took his land and you ate his corn, and on his grave your land was born. You took his pride and you fed him dirt, you wished him winter without a shirt and you called this red man savage. And after you crushed him you helped him up, to let him drink from an empty cup. You gave him the Navy without the fleet, and made him lick your hands and kiss your feet, and you named this mad dog savage. Well I found a book the other day, so I looked up red and white to see what it'd say. One was a savage the other unlearned, like a look in the mirror the tables were turned, for history has named you - savage. In the year of 65 when I was very young, we watched the dust clouds to the south we knew that you had come. We saw you build your chain of forts along the Bozeman Road, but Red Cloud had his allies a-counted long before it snowed. And someday Great White Father you will know my name. In December of 66' you met me face to face. I decoyed your Captain Fetterman and we never left a trace. Into our sacred homelands your Blue Coat Soldiers came, but we just taught you a heap-big lesson in the Battle of a Hundred Slain. And someday Great White Father you will know my name. In the June of 76' our Nation joined its hands. We made our camps on The Little Bighorn not knowing of your plans. You sent your long-haired Custer with the Seventh Cavalry, to hunt and kill my children for wanting to be free. And I think it's time Great White Father that you knew my name ! It's Crazy Horse - it's Crazy Horse and I wish you were here to see, cause' I got Yellow Hair cornered at the Bighorn and I'm about to set him free. Ride to the village to get my Oglala's, the Sans Arc's and the Miniconjou, Get Sitting Bull with his band of Hunkpapa's, the Brule's and Blackfoot's too. Ridin' home from battle came the Cheyenne ponies with white blood drippin' from their feet. Their riders were a lookin' and a shoutin' up to heaven here's to Chivington at Sand Creek. Hey there mister wagon master what do ya' have inside, hidden underneath of that buffalo hide. Could it be ya' brought to me some food from the man back east, so my starvin' children could have a feast. A-hey mother come look and see, what the bastard done brought to me - its alcohol - tobacco - and guns, alcohol - tobacco - and guns

Apr 21, 2008 - I love SOCH. JD is great. I had a friend in college who had the live STL album. Very cool. Wish I had one to this day. JD did a show a year or so ago in southern Illinois (I think) that I could not attend due to work obligations. Never saw JD. A great dissappointment in my life. JD is amazing.
