lirik lagu the indian – vera johnson
you were a free man and a hunter
of the deer and buffalo
you got your food and clothes and shelter
with your spear and with your bow
you taught your son the pride of manhood
showed him all he had to know
and now your great*great*great*grandson plays cowboys and indians
all through the day
and he says to his friends, “if i can’t be a cowboy
i don’t want to play
for the cowboys are good guys and indians bad guys
and i never want to be bad”
and i smile as i listen to his ultimatum
at the same time it seems kind of sad
your grandson fought a losing battle
he was proud and he was brave
the white man stole his homeland from him
turned a free man to a slave
t.b. and smallpox and raw whiskey
were thе gifts the white man gave
and now your grеat*great*great*grandson plays cowboys and indians
all through the day
and he says to his friends, “if i can’t be a cowboy
i don’t want to play
for the cowboys are good guys and indians bad guys
and i never want to be bad”
and i smile as i listen to his ultimatum
at the same time it seems kind of sad
your grandson’s daughter heard of jesus
and forgot the tribal ways
for all his goodness and his mercy
this new god she learned to praise
and then the reservation trapped her
like a rat caught in a maze
and now your great*great*great*grandson plays cowboys and indians
all through the day
and he says to his friends, “if i can’t be a cowboy
i don’t want to play
for the cowboys are good guys and indians bad guys
and i never want to be bad”
and i smile as i listen to his ultimatum
at the same time it seems kind of sad
your great*great*grandson left his people
for the life there got him down
he studied hard to be a welder
and he found a job in town
he wed a blonde girl and had children
and forgot that he was brown
and now your great*great*great*grandson plays cowboys and indians
all through the day
and he says to his friends, “if i can’t be a cowboy
i don’t want to play
for the cowboys are good guys and indians bad guys
and i never want to be bad”
and i smile as i listen to his ultimatum
at the same time it seems kind of sad
