From the Indian
reservation to the governmental school
Well they're goin' to educate
me to the white men's Golden Rule
And I'm learning very quickly
for I've learned to be ashamed
And I come when they call Billy
though I've got an Indian name
And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums
that you can't hear
There are drums beyond the mountain
and they're getting mighty near
And when they think that they'd changed me
cut my hair to meet their needs
Will they think I'm white or Indian quarter blood or just half breed
Let me tell you Mr teacher
when you say you'll make me right
In five hundred years of fighting not one Indian turned white
And there are drums
Beyond the mountain
Indian drums that you can't hear
There are drums beyond the mountain
and they're getting mighty near
Well you thought that I knew nothing
when you brought me here to school
Just another empty Indian just America's first fool
But now I can tell you stories
that are burnt and dried and old
But in the shadow of their telling walks the thunder proud and bold
And there are drums
Beyond the mountains Indian drums that you can't hear
There are drums beyond the mountain
and they're getting mighty near
Long Pine and Sequoia Handsome Lake and Sitting Bull
There's Magnus Colorado with his sleeves so red and full
Crazy Horse the legend those who bit off Custer's soul
They are dead yet they are living with the great Geronimo
And there are drums
Beyond the mountains Indian drums that you can't hear
There are drums beyond the mountain
and they're getting mighty near
Well you may teach me this land's hist'ry
but we taught it to you first
We broke your hearts and bent your journeys
broken treaties left us cursed
Even now you have to cheat us even though you take us tame
In our losing we found proudness in your winning you found shame
And there are drums
Beyond the mountains Indian drums that you can't hear
There are drums beyond the mountains and they're getting mighty near
