Were you there at the creek
|
That is called Wounded Knee
|
Were you there at the creek
|
There but unseen
|
In the 7th Calvary
|
Were you there at the creek
|
|
Were you there on the wind
|
That hammered the plains
|
Were you there on the wind
|
To scatter their names
|
I'll ask you again
|
Were you there on the wind
|
|
It makes me weep
|
It makes me weep
|
It makes me weep
|
Now how could you be
|
|
Were you there in the crowd
|
When the first shot rang out
|
Were you there in the crowd
|
Moving about
|
Black powder cloud
|
Were you there in the crowd
|
|
Were you there by the Sioux
|
With the white Flag of Truce
|
Were you there by the Sioux
|
'Cause the flag was no use
|
The bullets all flew
|
Were you there by the Sioux
|
|
It makes me weep
|
It makes me weep
|
It makes me weep
|
Now how could you be
|
|
If you choose sides
|
I know where you were
|
With soldiers that ride
|
So stalwart and sure
|
Not into pride
|
Into massacre
|
|
It makes me weep
|
It makes me weep
|
It makes me weep
|
Now how could you be
|
|

WERE YOU THERE
