big chief buffalo nickel (desert blues)
Singer:ricky nelson
a way out on the wind swept desert
where nature favours no man
a buffalo found his brother
lying baked on the sun baked sand
he said: my brother what ails you
has sickness made you this way
'cause his brother was dead
he'd been dead since way last may
was a mighty man in his day
he roamed around from tent to tent
he loved a new one every night
a way out on the wind swept desert
i heard a big indian moan
'cause i knew what it meant
i swore i never more would roam
it was dawn when i reached saint pete
my legs were certainly sore
i must have lost fifty pounds
on that hot desert ground
and i'd lose that many more
was a mighty man in his day
he roamed around from tent to tent
he loved a new one every night
