White  man  came across  the sea
 He brought  us pain  and  misery
 He killed  our tribes,  he killed  our creed
 He took  our game for  his own need
 ITRO VERSE:
 We fought him hard we fought him well
 Out on the plains we gave him hell
 But many came too much for cree
 Oh will we ever be set free?
Riding  through dustclouds and barren wastes
Galloping  hard on the plains
Chasing  the redskins back to their holes
Fighting  them at their own game
Murder  for freedom a stab in the back
Women  and children and cowards attack
Run  to the hills  run for  your lives
Run  to the hills  run for  your lives
 Soldier blue on the barren wastes
 Hunting and killing their game
 Raping the women and wasting the men
 The only good indians are tame
 Selling them whisky and taking their gold
 Enslaving the young and destroying the old
 Run to the hills run for your lives
 (repeat to end)
