Buffalo Jump Lyrics

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.
