Lyrics
Big Foot was an Indian chief Of the Minneconjou band A band of Minneconjou Sioux From South Dakota's land Big Food said to Custer "Stay away from that Crazy Horse" But Custer crossed into Sioux land And he never came back across Then Big Foot led his people To a place called Wounded Knee And they found themselves surrounded By the 7th Calvary Big Foot Big Foot Rise up from your bed Minneconjou babies cry For their mothers, lying dead Big Foot was down with a fever When he reached Wounded Knee And his people all werе prisoners Of the 7th Calvary Two hundred womеn and children And other hundred men Raised up a white flag of peace But peace did not begin An accidental gunshot And Big Foot was first to die And over the noise of the rifles You could hear them babies cry Big Foot Big Foot It's good that you can't see Revenge is being wrought By Custer's 7th Calvary Smoke hung over the canyon On that cold December day All was death and dying Around where Big Foot lay Farther up on the canyon Some had tried to run and hide But death showed no favorites Women, men, and children died One side called it a ma**acre The other a victory But the white flag is still waving Today at Wounded Knee Big Foot Big Foot Your Minneconjou band Is more than remembered here In South Dakota land Big Foot Big Foot Your Minneconjou band Is more than remembered here In South Dakota land
