Look at me, brave Sitting Bull
In this gondola canoe
Bill Cody brings us smoke and meat
So what are we to do
verse 2
I came across the water
In a boat no man could row
To play a war in front of strangers
In Cody's Wild West Show
Whoopi-ti,
Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo
verse 3
I've seen their Eiffel Tower
And the wonders of their world
Saloons where drunken white men
Stared at naked, dancing girls
verse 4
And I close my eyes and see the Big Horn valley
Harvest moons ago
That bloody hair of Custer
Hanging from our victory pole
Whoopi-ti,
Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo
Whoopi-ti,
Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo
Instrumental
Verse 5
See me staring calmly
From your magic photograph
In this gondola canoe
Verse 6
My spirit rides with Red Cloud
Black Bear and Buffalo
My dreams fly with the heron
The grey crane and the crow
Whoopi-ti,
Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo
Whoopi-ti,
Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo
Whoopi-ti
Whoopi-ti,
Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo
