Big Foot was an Indian chief of the Miniconioux Band A band of Miniconioux Sioux from South Dakota land Big Foot said to Custer stay away from Crazy Horse But Custer crossed into Sioux land and he never came back across Then Big Foot led his people to a place called Wounded Knee And they found themselves surrounded by the 7th Calvary Big chief Big Foot rise up from your bed Miniconioux babies cry for their mothers lying dead Big Foot was down with the fever when he reached Wounded Knee And his people all were prisoners of the 7th Calvary Two hundred women and children and another hundred men Raised up a white flag of peace but peace did not begin An accidental gunshot and Big Foot was first to die And over the noise of the rifles you could hear the babies cry Big chief Big Foot it's good that you can't see Revenge is being robbed by Custer's 7th Calvary Then smoke hung over the canyon on the cold December day All was dead and dying around where Big Foot lay Farther on up in the canyon some had tried to run and hide But death showed no favors women men and children died One side called that masacre the other a victory But the white flag is still waving today at Wounded Knee Big chief Big Foot your Miniconioux band Is mourned and remembered here in South Dakota land Big chief Big Foot your Miniconioux band Is mourned and remembered here in South Dakota land
