From the recording High Lonesome
Lyrics
Oh, John what have you done,
you’re the savage not the native son,
What ya did down in Sand Creek,
with the Devil’s cavalry
And I don't know where to go
Used to follow the Buffalo
And all the things in between
Just a nightmare inside of a dream
Oh governor where shall we go
We are starving we are cold
Have you found a place that's safe
From your soldiers and their ways
And I don't know where to go
Used to follow the Buffalo
And all the things in between
Just a nightmare inside of a dream
Solo Section - Mandolin
Well Left Hand what can I say
I found perfect place the other day
Bring your children Bring the old and weak
And no Dog Soldiers and you’ll be free
And I don't know where to go
Used to follow the Buffalo
And all the things in between
Just a nightmare inside of a dream
Solo Section - Dobro
John what have you done,
you’re the savage not the native son,
What ya did down in Sand Creek,
with the Devil’s cavalry
I don’t know where to go
Used to follow the Buffalo
And all the things in between
Just a nightmare inside a dream
And all the things in between
Just a nightmare inside of a dream
