Look at me, brave Sitting Bull, in this gondola canoe Bill Cody brings us smoke and meat, so what are we to do? I came across the water, in a boat no man could row To play war in front of strangers, in Cody's Wild West Show Whoopa ti, whoopa ti-I-Yo I have seen their Eiffel Tower and the wonders of their world Saloons where drunken white men stared at naked dancing girls And I close my eyes, see the Big Horn Valley, harvest moons ago The bloody hair of Custer, hanging from our victory pole Whoopa ti, whoopa ti-I-Yo Whoopa ti, whoopa ti-I-Yo See me staring calmly from your magic photograph In this gondola canoe, am I about to cry or laugh? My spirit rides with Red Cloud, Black Bear and Buffalo My dreams fly with the heron, the grey crane and the crow Whoopa ti, whoopa ti-I-Yo Whoopa ti, whoopa ti-I-Yo
