In that desolate land and lone	A
Where the Big Horn and Yellowstone	A
Roar down their mountain path	B
By their fires the Sioux Chiefs	C
Muttered their woes and griefs	C
And the menace of their wrath	B
	-
Revenge cried Rain in the Face	C
Revenue upon all the race	C
Of the White Chief with yellow hair	D
And the mountains dark and high	E
From their crags re echoed the cry	E
Of his anger and despair	D
	-
In the meadow spreading wide	F
By woodland and riverside	F
The Indian village stood	G
All was silent as a dream	H
Save the rushing a of the stream	H
And the blue jay in the wood	G
	-
In his war paint and his beads	C
Like a bison among the reeds	C
In ambush the Sitting Bull	I
Lay with three thousand braves	C
Crouched in the clefts and caves	C
Savage unmerciful	I
	-
Into the fatal snare	D
The White Chief with yellow hair	D
And his three hundred men	J
Dashed headlong sword in hand	K
But of that gallant band	K
Not one returned again	J
	-
The sudden darkness of death	L
Overwhelmed them like the breath	L
And smoke of a furnace fire	M
By the river's bank and between	N
The rocks of the ravine	N
They lay in their bloody attire	M
	-
But the foemen fled in the night	O
And Rain in the Face in his flight	O
Uplifted high in air	D
As a ghastly trophy bore	P
The brave heart that beat no more	P
Of the White Chief with yellow hair	D
	-
Whose was the right and the wrong	Q
Sing it O funeral song	Q
With a voice that is full of tears	C
And say that our broken faith	R
Wrought all this ruin and scathe	R
In the Year of a Hundred Years	C
