Was the night - I was young 
When my father called for his first born son 
Took me place at his side 
While this great chief raged in the fire light 
We`d reclaim days of old 
If the tribe would do what his dream foretold 

Praying to the vision of the promised land 
Swaying to the rhythm of the drums 
We were pledging our allegiance to Wevoka`s plan 
When the shots rang out, there soldiers all around 
And their cannons put an end to our holy singin` of 

(OH) The first cowboys were doing the Ghostdance singin` 
(OH) The first cowboys were doing the Ghostdance 

Hypnotized by my tale 
Generations learn of the Great Betrayal long ago 
At Wounded Knee 
Where our grandfathers bled for what they believed 
Wouldn`t buy what they sold - reservation 
Life for our Black Hills gold 

For praying to the vision of the promised land 
Swaying to the rhythm of the drums 
We were pledging our allegiance to Wevoka`s plan 
The Great Spirit cried when our warriors fell to the hail of 
The blue coat`s guns (so we`re singin`) 

(OH) The first cowboys were doing the Ghostdance singin` 
(OH) The first cowboys were doing the Ghostdance 

For your soul, for your name 
Many brave men`s blood`s running through your veins 
Leave your mark - walk with pride 
Live in honor to those who gave their lives 
Ancient hearts are still seeking peace - 
As you sing and dance, so you set them free 

For praying to the vision of the promised land 
Swaying to the rhythm of the drums 
Pledging your allegiance to Wevoka`s plan 
By the marker that stands where our women and children 
Fell to the blue coat`s guns (start singin`) 

Praying to the vision of the promised land 
Swaying to the rhythm of the drums 
We were pledging our allegiance to Wevoka`s plan 
When the shots rang out, there soldiers all around 
And their cannons put an end to our holy singin` of
