Now That The Buffalo's Gone Lyrics - Up Where We Belong - Buffy Sainte-marie

Can you remember the times 

That you have held your head high 

And told all your friends of your Indian claim 

Proud good lady and proud good man 

Your great-great grandfather from Indian blood sprang 

And you feel in your heart for these ones 

Oh it's written in books and in song 

That we've been mistreated and wronged 

Well over and over I hear the same words 

From you good lady and you good man 

Well listen to me if you care where we stand 

And you feel you're a part of these ones

When a war between nations is lost 

The loser, we know, pays the cost 

But even when Germany fell to your hands 

Consider dear lady, consider dear man 

You left them their pride and you left them their land 

And what have you done to these ones 

Has a change come about Uncle Sam 

Or are you still taking our lands 

A treaty forever George Washington signed 

He did dear lady, he did dear man 

And the treaty's being broken by Kinzua Dam 

And what will you do for these ones

Oh, it's all in the past you can say 

But it's still going on here today 

The government now want the Iroquois land 

That of the Senaca and the Cheyenne 

It's here and it's now you can help us dear man 

Now that the buffalo's gone.
