A re release of my prairie hit !

lyrics

BUFFALO Kevin Mitchell
D
We were kids my brother and me
Bm
Running with the tumbleweeds
G
On a farm , out of town
A Bm
Now it's sold and all torn down

Down the road some buffalo
Roamed the plains like long ago
The cars would stop and read the sign
Of a place and a time that they roamed
G D A
Ch: When I die I will go back with the Buffalo
G Bm A G A
Shadows on a sea of grass disappear into the past

I must have been about nine or ten
Across the road just watching them
Prairie sky laughing down at us
Prairie ground turning to dust

I would lay awake at night
Dreaming of that awesome sight
Hooves pounding like a hurricane
Through winter snow and the summer rain
Chorus:
The white man came and took their hides
Left their bodies where they lie
the prairie sky must have wept a tear
When she looked down and they all disappeared

His unique style, rhythms and subject matter combine to create an exciting new and original voice in the Canadian folk music scene. ... more
