There's a legend in the western plains
Of a great chief of the Sioux
Who fought against the cavalry
To protect the lands he knew
Born in eighteen forty
In the South Dakota hills
This man was known as Crazy Horse
And remains a legend still

(Musical Turnaround)

Crazy Horse fought many wars
As a young man he would ride
To run the white men from his land
With the Cheyenne by his side
One victory he was noted for
Was defeating ole' George Cook
But the war that made him famous
And put him in our history books

(Musical Turnaround)
(Modulate to E)

The year was eighteen-seventy six
George Custer made his play
The Sioux all called him yellow hair
And he's known by that today
He led the seventh cavalry
Into their final stand
Two hundred men would meet their fate
By Crazy Horse's band

Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull
Didn't realize back then
That the massacre at Big Horn
Would also be their end
The next year they surrendered
And Crazy Horse was killed
But he went down in history
And his legend lingers still

(Modulate to F)

Today they build a statue
In the South Dakota hills
Of the warrior chief called Crazy Horse
In remembrance he still lives
In all times men must fight and die
For belief within their souls
Crazy Horse he fought for freedom
And now his story has been told
