Big Chief Woolly Bosher

Lyrics

[Bridge 1] In the land they call the West On the prairie's virgin crest Lived a great man and his braves And he led them to their graves [Verse 1] Big Chief plays with baby son The work of the Indian today is done Life is easy, life is grand 'Til there is white man, gun in hand [Chorus] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh [Verse 2] Started out when settlers came And built their homes on the Indian range Big chief Woolly Bosher liked it none Traded with a bad man for a gun [Chorus] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh [Verse 3] Big Chief looks out at his great land Locomotive on the prairie stands "Life that leak from the city in the east Let us destroy that iron beast" [Chorus] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh [Verse 4] Big Chief rides on the trail tonight Tread the land for which he must fight [Bridge 2] In their fight for love and glory Some Indians were saved They lived to tell the story And Woolly Bosher prayed [Chorus] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh [Verse 5] Big Chief rides on the trail tonight Soldier boys marching in the morning light "Bring the guns, bring the bows Let's blow them into Heaven Let's see if God knows" [Chorus] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh [Verse 6] One hundred men must have to die When a thousand soldiers look you in the eye Big Chief sees his men fall 'round The soldiers kill and the bugle sounds [Bridge 3] In their fight for love and glory No Indians were saved And Big Chief Woolly Bosher Had written on his grave [Chorus] "He has done no wrong Except being bold" Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
