Buffalo Jump Songtext

von Dougie MacLean

I'm the child of the Great Cree Nation. See me I'm my
Father's son
We live by the Great Bull. See me I'm the wild one
This morning we are ready to show the Buffalo our
Knives
And by the red of sunset we'll have relieved them of
Their lives
Buffalo jump feel the thunder
Buffalo jump across the plain
Buffalo jump kill the hunger
Crashing over the cliffs of pain
The Beast has well been gathered. We could have
Had a thousand more
We'll run them to the edge. They'll tumble out through
Death's dark door
And soon the blood will flow like water through these
Sunbleached ancient bones
It will revive this dusty land on which our seeds of life
Are thrown
Buffalo jump etc.
See me I am the bravest. I'm the strongest of us all
I'll stand beside the river's edge and watch the great
Black waterfall
I'm a child of the Great Cree Nation. See me I'm my
Father's son
We live by the Great Bull. See me I'm the wild one
Buffalo jump etc.
