White Horse

1805 was a long rough year
That winter so cold I don't wanna stay here
I wanna be yonder way back home I'll stay right there no more to roam
But Clark got a cause like a man at war
He stopped on the way back I don't know what for
With the Walla Walla people we laid some nights
We danced in the dust and the fire and light
And they gave Clark a

White horse
White horse

Clark pulled from his hip a long shine blade
For my people to yield this offer I made Chief Yellow Pit smiled and was satisfied
We'd wake next morning and off we'd ride

White horse
White horse

Next morning we woke to a cloudy day
In the midst of the night the horses went stray
We spent daylight to gather them round
Clark's new white horse nowhere to be found
And I wonder now in a haunting way
If the horse knew better than us to stay
For she got one wiff of the white man's way
And ran off free in the desert sage

White horse White horse
