Chris Ledoux - Hoka Hey, Lakota's lyrics

Come listen while I tell you the story Of a battle that happened years ago Where brave men fought and died for their people Where the waters of the Little Big Horn flow For many years the Indian fought the White Man I guess they knew the end was growin' near But this time they would show the Whites forever What it meant to be an Indian warrior That mornin' General Custer came a marchin' From the south with his 600 men He planned to catch the Indians a sleepin' He didn't know he wouldn't live to fight again Hoka Hey, Lakotas, It's a good day to die Sittin' Bull made medicine on the mountain While Crazy Horse got ready for the fight Some 2,000 braves, Sioux and Cheyenne Prepared for their battle with the whites The scouts for General Custer tried to warn him To wait for soldiers comin' any day But Custer didn't want to share the glory He thought the Indians might just get away At noon Custer gave his final order And the're beneath that blue Montana sky From outa nowhere came the hordes of Redmen And as they charged he heard their battle cry Hoka Hey, Lakotas, It's a good day to die The quiet of the day had now been shattered The air filled with arrows, smoke and lead The bloody battle lasted just one hour Custer and his soldiers all lay dead Now the wind still blows across the prairie The seasons they come and they go But this the Redman's Day of Glory We will all remember ever more Yes we recall that famous day of glory The Battle of the Little Big Horn Hoka Hey, Lakotas, It's a good day to die
