Big Foot was an Indian chief[00:00:19]
Of the Minneconjou band[00:00:22]
A band of Minneconjou Sioux[00:00:24]
From South Dakota's land[00:00:26]
Big Food said to Custer[00:00:28]
"Stay away from that Crazy Horse"[00:00:30]
But Custer crossed into Sioux land[00:00:33]
And he never came back across[00:00:35]
Then Big Foot led his people[00:00:38]
To a place called Wounded Knee[00:00:40]
And they found themselves surrounded[00:00:42]
By the 7th Calvary[00:00:45]
Big Foot Big Foot[00:00:47]
Rise up from your bed[00:00:50]
Minneconjou babies cry[00:00:52]
For their mothers, lying dead[00:00:54]
Big Foot was down with a fever[00:01:06]
When he reached Wounded Knee[00:01:08]
And his people all were prisoners[00:01:11]
Of the 7th Calvary[00:01:13]
Two hundred women and children[00:01:15]
And other hundred men[00:01:17]
Raised up a white flag of peace[00:01:20]
But peace did not begin[00:01:22]
An accidental gunshot[00:01:25]
And Big Foot was first to die[00:01:27]
And over the noise of the rifles[00:01:29]
You could hear them babies cry[00:01:31]
Big Foot Big Foot[00:01:34]
It's good that you can't see[00:01:36]
Revenge is being wrought[00:01:39]
By Custer's 7th Calvary[00:01:41]
Smoke hung over the canyon[00:01:53]
On that cold December day[00:01:55]
All was death and dying[00:01:58]
Around where Big Foot lay[00:02:00]
Farther up on the canyon[00:02:02]
Some had tried to run and hide[00:02:04]
But death showed no favorites[00:02:07]
Women, men, and children died[00:02:09]
One side called it a massacre[00:02:12]
The other a victory[00:02:14]
But the white flag is still waving[00:02:16]
Today at Wounded Knee[00:02:18]
Big Foot Big Foot[00:02:21]
Your Minneconjou band[00:02:23]
Is more than remembered here[00:02:26]
In South Dakota land[00:02:28]
Big Foot Big Foot[00:02:33]
Your Minneconjou band[00:02:35]
Is more than remembered here[00:02:37]
In South Dakota land[00:02:40]
