Buckskin Boy - Al Kooper

He is walking through his land with tears in his eyes

He is walking through his land with poison in his skies

He is naked in the mirror sad & stripped & put to shame

And people joke about him but its really not the same to

The BUCKSKIN BOY

They have stormed into his valleys

They have laid his people down

They have robbed him of his culture

In the land that he once found

He is wise in the ways of nature

And tired with the ways of Man

He is walking in a vacuum that will never understand

The BUCKSKIN BOY

They want to give him half an acre to live out all his years

And everything that is sacred will be sold as souvenirs

And the pipe it has been handed

Down to young ones everywhere

To the warriors of Peace who simply found the need to share

The love inside their souls just the way that Jesus taught

But the battle’s always over before it’s even fought

God save the BUCKSKIN BOY

God save the BUCKSKIN BOY
