Way out on the windswept desert, where nature favors no man

He said my brother: What ails you, has sickness got you this way?

But his brother never said, for his brother was dead

Been dead since way last May

[Verse 2]
A7
Here’s to Chief Big Buffalo Nickel, a mighty man in his day
D
Never once used a sickle, to clear the bushes away
A7
He would go 'round from tent to tent, eat everything in sight
A7
He loved a squaw every one he saw
D
He loved a new one every night

[Verse 3]
A7
Last night on the windswept desert, I heard a big Indian moan
D
I left my tent, I knew what it meant and I swore I’d never more roam
A7
It was dawn when I reached safety, my legs were certainly sore
A7
I must of lost fifty pounds on that hot desert ground
D/A
And I’d lose that many more
