The White Buffalo (written by Thomas Long & Mike Bryant) (BMI # 23409812) (key of E) (Chorus) There's a legend that I read of long ago That told about the symbol of the Buffalo And how a buffalo so white Stood for a long and sacred life And the tribes of South Dakota thought it so The Lakota told about a woman dressed in white This holy woman gave to them a sacred pipe She taught the mysteries of the Earth And she blessed them for their worth And upon her disappearance Came the buffalo in herds This legend was born two thousand years ago The Lakota tribes of South Dakota told Of how the people lost their faith The spirit woman showed the way She transformed before their very eyes To a white buffalo that day (Musical Break) (Chorus) There's a legend that I read of long ago That told about the symbol of the Buffalo And how a buffalo so white Stood for a long and sacred life And the tribes of South Dakota thought it so (Music To end)
