[Bridge 1]
In the land they call the West
On the prairie's virgin crest
Lived a great man and his braves
And he led them to their graves

[Verse 1]
Big Chief plays with baby son
The work of the Indian today is done
Life is easy, life is grand
'Til there is white man, gun in hand

[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
Started out when settlers came
And built their homes on the Indian range
Big chief Woolly Bosher liked it none
Traded with a bad man for a gun

[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 3]
Big Chief looks out at his great land
Locomotive on the prairie stands
"Life that leak from the city in the east
Let us destroy that iron beast"

[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 4]
Big Chief rides on the trail tonight
Tread the land for which he must fight

[Bridge 2]
In their fight for love and glory
Some Indians were saved
They lived to tell the story
And Woolly Bosher prayed

[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 5]
Big Chief rides on the trail tonight
Soldier boys marching in the morning light
"Bring the guns, bring the bows
Let's blow them into Heaven
Let's see if God knows"

[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 6]
One hundred men must have to die
When a thousand soldiers look you in the eye
Big Chief sees his men fall 'round
The soldiers kill and the bugle sounds

[Bridge 3]
In their fight for love and glory
No Indians were saved
And Big Chief Woolly Bosher
Had written on his grave

[Chorus]
"He has done no wrong
Except being bold"
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
