Were you there at the creek   That is called wounded knee   Were you there at the creek   There but unseen   In the 7th calvary   Were you there at the creek      Were you there on the wind   That hammered the plains   Were you there on the wind   To scatter their names   I'll ask you again   Were you there on the wind      It makes me weep   It makes me weep   It makes me weep   Now how could you be      Were you there in the crowd   When the first shot rang out   Were you there in the crowd   Moving about   Black powder cloud   Were you there in the crowd      Were you there by the sioux   With the white flag of truce   Were you there by the sioux   'cause the flag was no use   The bullets all flew   Were you there by the sioux      It makes me weep   It makes me weep   It makes me weep   Now how could you be      If you choose sides   I know where you were   With soldiers that ride   So stalwart and sure   Not into pride   Into massacre      It makes me weep   It makes me weep   It makes me weep   Now how could you be
