I've raised ale with soldiers and dined with gentlemen
Knew many a sailor made many a friend
I've known good preachers farmers and magistrates
Lawyers and ladies surveyors and slaves
But the best man I know is a Crow
With skin as red as clay
Some warned me not to trust him
Cuz they don't understand his ways
But he gives his word and keeps it
Only hunts it if he needs it
When he speaks his heart he means it
The best man I know is a Crow
Every heart is darkened the scriptures are surely true
But my friend the Indian is the best I ever knew
He's not concerned with wealth and empty earthen gain
His heart is with his people and the honor of his name
The best man I know is a Crow
With skin as red as clay
Some warned me not to trust him
Cuz they don't understand his ways
But he gives his word and keeps it
Only hunts it if he needs it
When he speaks his heart he means it
The best man I know is a Crow
The best man I know is a redskin
With feathers in his hair
The best man I know is a savage
But I ain't found no savage there
Gives his word and keeps it
Only hunts it if he needs it
When he speaks his heart he means it
The best man I know is a Crow
