War

By the Great Indian, Chief Joseph

Hear me, my warriors; my heart is sick and sad;

Our chiefs are killed,

The old men are all dead,

It is cold and we have no blankets;

The little children are freezing to death.

Hear me, my warriors; my heart is sick and sad;

From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever!
