"Ta Shunka Witco (Crazy Horse)" lyrics - IAN HUNTER & THE RANT BAND

All I need is a feather
All I need is a stone
All I need is a shadow
To follow me home
All I need is a vision
All I need is a dream
All I need are my people following me
I never shoot from the saddle
Always shoot from the ground
I walk my horse up 'n' I ride him down
I decoyed Fetterman, I got no remorse
They used to call me Curly now I'm Crazy Horse

We fought Shoshone, we fought Arapahoes
We fought the Omahas 'n' we fought the crows
I can't wait to cut your long hair short
The only good white is a dead white
That's what I was taught

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hoka hey, hoka hey

Paid by the rich to steal from the poor
There ain't no honour in ya
Ta shunka witco, ta shunka witco, ta shunka witco, Crazy Horse

I know these rivers
I know this land
I know those hills like the back of my hand
Now the buffalo's gone, there ain't nothin' left
'Cept little yellow stones in this wilderness
I lost my brother, I lost my wife
I lost my daughter, the love of my life
Tell your great white father up in Washington
I got a knife between my teeth for that fork in his tongue

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hoka hey, hoka hey

You're gonna wish you'd never been born
When you get to Little Big Horn
Ta Shunka Witco, ta shunka witco, ta shunka witco, Crazy Horse

When you talk peace, you mean war, we'll be waiting for ya
Ta shunka witco, ta shunka witco, ta shunka witco
Never surrender, never surrender, never surrender
Never surrender, never surrender, never surrender
Never surrender
