Intro: verse 1 Look at me, brave Sitting Bull In this gondola canoe Bill Cody brings us smoke and meat So what are we to do verse 2 I came across the water In a boat no man could row To play a war in front of strangers In Cody's Wild West Show Whoopi-ti, Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo verse 3 I've seen their Eiffel Tower And the wonders of their world Saloons where drunken white men Stared at naked, dancing girls verse 4 And I close my eyes and see the Big Horn valley Harvest moons ago That bloody hair of Custer Hanging from our victory pole Whoopi-ti, Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo Whoopi-ti, Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo Instrumental Verse 5 See me staring calmly From your magic photograph In this gondola canoe Am I about to cry or laugh Verse 6 My spirit rides with Red Cloud Black Bear and Buffalo My dreams fly with the heron The grey crane and the crow Whoopi-ti, Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo Whoopi-ti, Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo Whoopi-ti Whoopi-ti, Whoopi-ti-yi-yi-yo
