Were You There Lyrics - Grant Lee Buffalo

Were you there at the creek 

That is called Wounded Knee? 

Were you there at the creek? 

There but unseen in the 7th Calvary 

Were you there at the creek? 

Were you there on the wind 

That hammered the plains? 

Were you there on the wind 

To scatter their names? I'll ask you again 

Were you there on the wind? 

It makes me weep 

It makes me weep 

It makes me weep 

Now how could you be 

Were you there in the crowd 

When the first shot rang out? 

Were you there in the crowd 

Moving about, black powder cloud? 

Were you there in the crowd? 

Were you there by the Sioux 

With the white Flag of Truce? 

Were you there by the Sioux? 

'Cause the flag was no use, the bullets all flew 

Were you there by the Sioux? 

It makes me weep 

It makes me weep 

It makes me weep 

Now how could you be 

If you choose sides 

I know where you were 

With soldiers that ride 

So stalwart and sure 

Not into pride 

Into massacre 

It makes me weep 

It makes me weep 

It makes me weep 

Now how could you be
