Al Kooper - Buckskin Boy lyrics
[Al Kooper - Buckskin Boy lyrics]
Calello-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 it's
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
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 it's
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
