Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee
Buffy Sainte-Marie

Indian legislations on the desk of a do-right Congressman

Now, he don't know much about the issue

So he picks up the phone and he asks advice from the

Senator out in Indian country

A darling of the energy companies who are

Ripping off what's left of the reservations. Huh.


I learned a safety rule

I don't know who to thank

Don't stand between the reservation

And the corporate bank

They'll send in federal tanks

It isn't nice but it's reality


Bury my heart at Wounded Knee

Deep in the Earth

Cover me with pretty lies

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee. Huh.


They got these energy companies who want the land

And they've got churches by the dozens

Want to guide our hands

And sign Mother Earth over to pollution, war and greed

Get rich... get rich quick.


Bury my heart at Wounded Knee

Deep in the Earth

Cover me with pretty lies

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee. Huh.


We get the federal marshals

We get the covert spies

We get the liars by the fire

And we get the FBIs

They lie in court and get nailed

And still Peltier goes off to jail




Bury my heart at Wounded Knee (eighth of the reservation)

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee (transferred it secret)

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee (of murder and intimidation)

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee


My girlfriend Annie Mae talked about uranium

Her head was filled with bullets and her body dumped

The FBI cut off her hands and told us she'd died of exposure

Loo loo loo loo loo


Bury my heart at Wounded Knee

Deep in the Earth

Cover me with pretty lies

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee


We had the Goldrush Wars

Aw, didn't we learn to crawl

And now our history gets written in a liar's scrawl

They tell 'ya Honey, you can still be an Indian

d-d-down at the 'Y'

on Saturday nights


Bury my heart at Wounded Knee

Deep in the Earth

Cover me with pretty lies

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee.

Deep in the Earth

Cover me with pretty lies

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
