Al Kooper - Buckskin Boy lyrics

Calello-Kooper He is walking through his land with tears in his eyes He is walking through his land with poison in his skies He is naked in the mirror sad & stripped & put to shame And people joke about him but its really not the same to The BUCKSKIN BOY They have stormed into his valleys They have laid his people down They have robbed him of his culture In the land that he once found He is wise in the ways of nature And tired with the ways of Man He is walking in a vacuum that will never understand The BUCKSKIN BOY They want to give him half an acre to live out all his years And everything that is sacred will be sold as souvenirs And the pipe it has been handed Down to young ones everywhere To the warriors of Peace who simply found the need to share The love inside their souls just the way that Jesus taught But the battle's always over before it's even fought God save the BUCKSKIN BOY God save the BUCKSKIN BOY
