Wooden Indian Lyrics - John Denver

Well I was a red man 

I was proud, I was strong 

You were the white man 

And you stole away my home 

Now I am a wooden Indian 

Painted dreams inside my head 

Times THE WAY you bring me down 

Make ME wish THAT I was dead 

Na na na na nana...

Ay, I was a red man 

In my passing made no sound 

You were the white man 

And you drove me in the ground 

Now I am a wooden Indian 

Standing silent in the rain 

Swear BY my grandfather's father 

We're GONNA rise again 

Na na na 

Ay, I was a red man 

I was proud, I was strong 

You were the white man 

And you stole away my home

Now I am a wooden Indian 

Standing silent in the rain 

Swear BY my grandfather's father 

We're GONNA rise again
