leon redbone – desert blues (big chief buffalo nickel) lyrics
way out on the wind-swept desert,
where nature played with no man
a buffalo found his brother
lying baked on the sun-baked sand.
said my brother what ails you?
a sickness made you this way?
his brother never said
’cause his brother was dead
he been dead since way last may
big chief buffalo nickel
was a mighty man in his day,
he never used a sickle
to clear the bushes away.
he’d roam around from tent to tent,
eat everything in sight
he loved a squaw, every one he saw
he loved a new one every night.
way out on the wind-swept desert
i heard a big indian noise,
i left my tent ’cause i knew what it meant
what i never known before.
it was gone when i reached st. pete
my legs were certainly sore,
i musta lost 50 pounds on that hot desert ground
and i’d lose that many more.
big chief buffalo nickel
was a mighty man in his day,
he never used a sickle
to clear the bushes away.
he’d roam around from tent to tent
eat everything in sight,
he loved a squaw, every one he saw,
he loved a new one every night.
