Big Foot -Johnny Cash[00:00:00]

But the land was already claimed by a people[00:00:08]

When the cowboy came and when the soldiers came[00:00:11]

The story of the American Indian is in a lot of ways[00:00:16]

A story of tragedy like that day at Wounded Knee South Dakota[00:00:20]

Big Foot was an Indian chief[00:00:33]

Of the Minneconjou band[00:00:35]

A band of Minneconjou Sioux[00:00:39]

From South Dakota land[00:00:41]

Big Foot said to Custer[00:00:43]

"Stay away from Crazy Horse"[00:00:46]

But Custer crossed into Sioux land[00:00:48]

And he never came back across[00:00:51]

Then Big Foot led his people[00:00:54]

To a place called Wounded Knee[00:00:56]

And they found themselves surrounded[00:00:59]

By the 7th Cavalry[00:01:01]

Big chief Big Foot[00:01:06]

Rise up from your bed[00:01:08]

Minneconjou babies cry[00:01:11]

For their mothers lying dead[00:01:13]

Big Foot was down with a fever[00:01:16]

When he reached Wounded Knee[00:01:20]

And his people all were prisoners[00:01:23]

Of the 7th Cavalry[00:01:25]

Two hundred women and children[00:01:28]

And another hundred men[00:01:30]

Raised up a white flag of peace[00:01:33]

But peace did not begin[00:01:36]

An accidental gunshot[00:01:39]

And Big Foot was first to die[00:01:41]

And over the noise of the rifles[00:01:44]

You could hear the babies cry[00:01:46]

Big chief Big Foot[00:01:49]

It's good that you can't see[00:01:53]

Revenge is being wrought[00:01:56]

By Custer's 7th Cavalry[00:01:58]

Then smoke hung over the canyon[00:02:03]

On that cold December day[00:02:05]

All was death and dying[00:02:08]

Around where Big Foot lay[00:02:10]

Farther on up the canyon[00:02:14]

Some had tried to run and hide[00:02:15]

But death showed no favorites[00:02:19]

Women men and children died[00:02:21]

One side called it a massacre[00:02:24]

The other a victory[00:02:26]

But the white flag is still waving[00:02:29]

Today at Wounded Knee[00:02:31]

Big chief Big Foot[00:02:34]

Your Minneconjou band[00:02:38]

Is more than remembered here[00:02:41]

In South Dakota land[00:02:44]

Big chief Big Foot[00:02:46]

Your Minneconjou band[00:02:48]

Is more than remembered here[00:02:51]

In South Dakota land[00:02:54]
