INTRO:  [4X]  
              
 [4X] 
    
                   
Was the night - I was young
                                  
When my father called for his first born son
                   
Took me place at his side
                                 
While this great chief raged in the fire light
                      
We'd reclaim days of old
                                                     
If the tribe would do what his dream foretold


                                
Praying to the vision of the promised land
                           
Swaying to the rhythm of the drums
                               
We were pledging our allegiance to Wevoka's plan
           
When the shots rang out, there soldiers all around
           
And their cannons put an end to our holy singin' of


                                 
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) 
                                        
The first cowboys were doing the Ghostdance singin'
                                       
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) 
                       
The first cowboys were doing the Ghostdance

Hypnotized by my tale
                                           
Generations learn of the Great Betrayal long ago
           
At Wounded Knee
                                    
Where our grandfathers bled for what they believed
                                 
Wouldn't buy what they sold – reservation
                                
Life for our Black Hills gold


                                         
For praying to the vision of the promised land
                           
Swaying to the rhythm of the drums
                               
We were pledging our allegiance to Wevoka's plan
                                              
And the Great Spirit cried when our warriors fell to the hail of

The blue coat's guns (so we're singin')


                                 
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) 
                                        
The first cowboys were doing the Ghostdance singin'
                                       
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

For your soul, for your name
                                          
Many brave men's blood's running through your veins
                        
Leave your mark - walk with pride
                                   
Live in honor to those who gave their lives
                     
Ancient hearts are rest in peace 
                                               
Till we sing and dance, and set them free


                                 
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
