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
