If Crazy Horse Died

The campfire's burnin' smokeless

Wind is fanning the flames

Spirits ride in the darkness

All across these plains

Some cowboys will tell you of horses
that nearly killed 'em for the ride
Go ahead and ask them if Crazy Horse died

Winds of the Missouri

The August sun was burning up the grass

And the coyote he’s still calling

And wait for the cottontails to pass

And the rattlesnake circles around you

And comes up on your back side

Don’t that cause you to wonder if Crazy Horse died

They never had no photographs

Now we’re carving him in stone

Uncle Sam would like a piece of that

They keep chipping all alone

Now the campfires burn smokeless

Into eternity they ride

When you see that mountain

You wonder if Crazy Horse died

When you see that statue

You wonder if Crazy Horse died

When you see that mountain

Oh Crazy Horse
