In the land they call the west On the prairie's virgin crest Lived a great man and his braves And he led them to their graves Big chief plays with baby son The work of the Indian today is done Life is easy, life is grand 'Til there is white man, gun in hand
Oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh
Started out when settlers came And built their homes on the Indian range Big Chief Woolly Bosher liked it none Traded with a bad man for a gun
Big chief rides on the trail tonight Tread the land for which he must fight In their fight for love and glory Some Indians were saved They lived to tell the story And Woolly Bosher prays
Big chief rides on the trail tonight Soldier boys marching in the morning light Bring the guns, bring the bows Let's blow them into heaven let's see if God knows
