lirik lagu cheyenne river – jesse jack murray
the cheyenne river flows and the cherry blossom grows in the nighttime
we were all asleep in the old dakota heat in the nighttime, in the nighttime
heaven shook her frown as the coyotes ran to ground for to bed down
our courage convalesced on our mother’s heavy breast; she wore a white gown; her skin was light brown
and she put on a show, you know, with the iridescent glow and the heart of a buffalo
and she beat the drum away with a steady beat and sway as she shouted a hoka hey
she sang a good song as she danced along, barefoot in the prairie dawn
many years before the indian wars
hiawatha sang as iktomi played his games in the daytime
and we mistook him for a man as he vanished into sand in the dry land by the cheyenne
there’s something in the stare and the subtle debonair of a young man
a choker on the throat, a breastplate made of bone, and a green stone behind his pony’s ear
and he put on a show, you know, with the iridescent glow and the heart of a buffalo
and he beat the drum away with a steady beat and sway as he shouted a hoka hey
he sang a good song, and he danced along, barefoot in the prairie dawn
many years before the indian wars
sacred is the gaze of the men who knew the days of the old lands
their churches in the hills, and gold beneath their heels: it was asleep, then stirred by a steel drill
lacking an excuse but wanting for the truth of how a son came
what grandfather sang was the missionaries’ bane—what a loud clang, and such a d-mn shame
’cause we put on a show, you know, with the iridescent glow and the heart of a buffalo
and we beat the drum away with a steady beat and sway as we shouted a hoka hey
we sang a good song, and we danced along, barefoot in the prairie dawn
it was many years before the indian war
everybody knows that the cherry blossom grows in the nighttime
and everybody sleeps as god shuffles his feet at the right time, at the right time
and he put on a show, you know…
