GBrave and Dproud as Amall the village Emvowed,
That the Cland would belong to our sons,D  
GWe pledged our Dname, was Amthen the wagons Emcame,
And we Cran from the sound of the guns.D  
Chorus
EmFugitives Gacross the land with Cempty hearts and Dempty hands,
And Amall the troubles underneath the Dsun,
EmLife was all we Ghad to give, but Cnot the life we Dused to live,
With aAmll the triumph over now and Ddone.
Verse
Sick and weak, we came to Bitter Creek,
In the year I became twenty-five,
The young and old we faced the bitter cold,
In the last great event of our lives.
Chorus
Underdogs in every place and every line on every face,
Remained to tell of land that we had lost,
Leaning on the only hope we lay with elk and antelope,
To fight the killing fever of the frost.
GRobbed of the Cright to be Done with the Emwhite,
It's the Gend of the Dfight for the CRedman,
GGone is the grCace and the Dpride on his Emface,
It's the Gend of the Drace for the CRedman.

And we ran from the sound of the guns.

Verse

Sick and weak, we came to Bitter Creek,

In the year I became twenty-five,

The young and old we faced the bitter cold,

In the last great event of our lives.

Chorus

Underdogs in every place and every line on every face,

Remained to tell of land that we had lost,

Leaning on the only hope we lay with elk and antelope,

To fight the killing fever of the frost.

Robbed of the right to be one with the white,

G D C

It's the end of the fight for the Redman,

Gone is the grace and the pride on his face,

It's the end of the race for the Redman.
