lyrics

Mounted high with spurs and sabers flashing
Looking for a place in history
Soldier blue so handsome and so dashing
Riding with the 7th Calvary.

Verse 2:
Moving east to Pine Ridge, South Dakota
Drinking from the water rushing blue
Red man takes a stand for his survival
Proud and brave this nation of the Sioux.

Chorus:
See the women die, try to understand
The cry of Wounded Knee, blood upon the land
See the children die, faces in the sand
Every child and woman, every man.

Verse 3
Men of pride and hate now take their station
Clear fresh water, slowly turns to red
Put them on a lonely reservation
Something more has died than just the dead.

Chorus

Verse 4
Mounted high with spurs and sabers flashing
Looking for a place in history
Soldier blue so handsome and so dashing
Killing with the 7th Calvary.
