c company - buffalo soldier lyrics

[intro + spoken word]
when america was still just a young country + many soldiers went to battle, so that this land could become the great united states of america. this story’s about a group of soldiers that made up one segment of the u.s. cavalry, during the great indian uprising. to the indian, this soldier looked strange and different + because he wasn’t white. he was black, and robust looking, with thick wooly hair. he sort+of reminded the indian of his great buffalo. so, the indian called the black cavalry soldier: the buffalo soldier

[verse 1]
in the 1800s
arizona, mexico
came a brand new soldier
the indians called him buffalo
from prison camps and slavery
the black man came to be
the hard riding hero
of the tenth cavalry

[chorus]
buffalo soldier
buffalo soldier
will you survive in
this new land?

buffalo soldier
buffalo soldier
when will they call you
a man?

[verse 2]
many of the soldiers
wanted to desert
tired of the hatred
tired of the hurt
tired of k!lling
and the misery
but they had to keep on fighting
so one day they’d be free
[chorus]
buffalo soldier
buffalo soldier
will you survive in
this new land?

buffalo soldier
buffalo soldier
when will they call you
a man?

[verse 3]
in 1898
somewhere on san juan hill
roosevelt’s rough riders
were waiting to be k!lled
but in their darkest hour
they heard the bugle blow
the tenth cavalry saved them
thank god for buffalo

[chorus]
buffalo soldier
buffalo soldier
will you survive in
this new land?
buffalo soldier
buffalo soldier
when will they call you
a man?

[outro]
hmm+hmm, hmm+hmm
hmm+hmm, hmm…
