John Denver Wooden Indian Lyrics

Wooden Indian Lyrics

This song was first released on the poems, prayers and promises album. it is the
only album it has been released on.

I, I was a red man
I was proud, I was strong
You were the white man
And you stole away my home

Now I am a wooden indian
Painted dreams inside my head
Times a where you bring me down
And make you wish I was dead

Na na na

I, I was a red man
In my passing made no sound
You were the white man
And you drove me in the ground

Now I am a wooden indian
Standing silent in the rain
Swear with my grandfather’s father
We’re going to rise again

Na na na

I, I was a red man
I was proud, I was strong
You were the white man
And you stole away my home

Now I am a wooden indian
Standing silent in the rain
Swear with my grandfather’s father
We’re going to rise again
