Ted Nugent’s GREAT WHITE BUFFALO
Great White Buffalo
(Ted Nugent)
Well, listen everybody
To what I got to say,
There’s hope for tomorrow
Ooh, we’re working on today.
Well, it happened long ago
In the new, magic land.
The Indian and the buffalo
They existed hand in hand.
The Indian needed food,
He needed skins for a roof
But he only took what they needed, baby
Millions of buffalo were the proof.
Yeah, it’s all right.
But then came the white man
With his thick and empty head.
He couldn’t see past the billfold
He wanted all the buffalo dead.
It was sad. It was sad.
Oh yeah,
Yes, indeed.
Oh, yes.
It happened a long time ago, baby
In the new magic land.
See, the Indian and the buffalo
They existed hand in hand.
The Indians, they needed some food
And some skins for a roof,
They only took what they needed, baby
Millions of buffalo were the proof, yeah.
But then came the white dogs
With their thick and empty heads.
They couldn’t see past the billfold
They wanted all the buffalo dead.
Everything was so sad.
When I looked above the canyon wall
Some strong eyes did I see,
I think it’s somebody coming around
To save my ass, baby.
I think- I think he’s coming around
To save you and me.
Boys
I said above the canyon wall
Strong eyes did glow,
It was the leader of the land, baby.
Oh, my God
The great white buffalo!
Look out! Look out!
Well, he got the battered herd,
He led them across the land,
With the great white buffalo
They gonna make a final stand.
The great white buffalo
Coming around to make a final stand.
Well, look out here he comes!
The great white buffalo, baby.
The great white buffalo.
Look out, here he comes!
He’s doing all right,
Making everything all right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Potawatomie Religion
Simon Pokagon (Potawatomie):
“Mortal man has not the power to draw aside the veil of unborn time to tell the future of his race. That gift belongs of the Divine alone. But it is given to him to closely judge the future by the present, and the past.”
