Hoka Hey, Lakotas - Chris Ledoux

Come listen while I tell you the story

Of a battle that happened years ago

Where brave men fought and died for their people

Where the waters of the Little Big Horn flow

For many years the Indian fought the white man

I guess they knew the end was growin' near

But this time they would show the whites forever

What it meant to be an Indian warrior

That mornin' General Custer came a marchin'

From the south with his 600 men

He planned to catch the Indians a sleepin'

He didn’t know he wouldn’t live to fight again

Hoka Hey, Lakotas, It’s a good day to die

Sittin' Bull made medicine on the mountain

While Crazy Horse got ready for the fight

Some 2,000 braves, Sioux and Cheyenne

Prepared for their battle with the whites

The scouts for General Custer tried to warn him

To wait for soldiers comin' any day

But Custer didn’t want to share the glory

He thought the Indians might just get away

At noon Custer gave his final order

And the’re beneath that blue Montana sky

From outa nowhere came the hordes of Redmen

And as they charged he heard their battle cry

Hoka Hey, Lakotas, It’s a good day to die

The quiet of the day had now been shattered

The air filled with arrows, smoke and lead

The bloody battle lasted just one hour

Custer and his soldiers all lay dead

Now the wind still blows across the prairie

The seasons they come and they go

But this the Redman’s Day of Glory

We will all remember ever more

Yes we recall that famous day of glory

The Battle of the Little Big Horn

Hoka Hey, Lakotas, It’s a good day to die
